My main home server runs Ubuntu - I installed it 15-20 years ago and it’s grown into a monster. I’ve been slowly documenting everything so I can reinstall with Debian. Have to up the priority of that project.
I already run Debian on my desktop and 3 other small servers. I just haven’t moved over my main one yet because of the complexity, and procrastination.
An old PC of mine as been promoted to becoming my first personal server ever and I went for Debian without UI. I’ve dealt with Ubuntu servers at work for a while. For me Debian felt so incredibly lightweight yet so familiar. I heartily recommend the move for a home server.

Debian is so nice as a server OS. It’s also a great alternative for WSL if you’re forced to use a Windows computer.

This works much better if you document into an Ansible playbook. Although some tasks will probably have to be adjusted between the distros.
