Can you clarify on how NixOS is great for selfhosting? I was going to do mint.
As far as operating systems goes, i would recommend Debian or Ubuntu. These are very wiedly used and there are many resources. And if you are brave, you can start without a Desktop.
you configure your whole server in one file (including docker/podman services), installation and configurations is taken care of by the package manager, you pretty much only need to know one file to admin your system
and no extra stuff is installed only what you specify so you have a minimal resource usage.
i think this is awesome
