Personally I would recommend Proxmox. It’s a debian based distro for hosting containers and virtual machines

Personally I strongly recommend Debian over Ubuntu.

Why is that, if I may ask? I’ve used both for years and personally I find Ubuntu has fewer footguns for a new user, and an easisr upgrade process.

I prefer Debian’s community-driven governance model, the higher degree of freedom over the system and lack of preinstalled software that I neither need nor want, and the quiet stability that Debian offers.
I also have just not liked Ubuntu’s decisions over the years. Little things that piled up like the Unity stuff a few years back (or I guess almost a decade at this point), the forced inclusion of snapd, that time they said they wouldn’t offer 32-bit libraries, the little message advertising Ubuntu Pro in the shell.
I’ve always felt like Debian is happy to just get out of the way and let you use it how you want to use it. That control is what I look for in a distro. What you call “footguns” are to me just more options for control.

Debian’s footguns are better documented and are generally there for good reason. Ubuntu’s footguns are there because “fuck the user”.

Yeah, I don’t know anything about self-hosting, but I’ve recently been working on switching from Windows 10 to Linux and I’ve been really enjoying Kubuntu so far.

Whille I agree, when it comes to the Ubuntu Desktop, their Server OS has been a stable, reliable and well supported system for me.

This +1 because just an upvote didn’t feel strong enough
