This may be an unpopular opinion, but for anything that doesn't require a GUI, Ubuntu Server is my go-to. If I need a GUI, then it's Windows. I've tried Linux on desktop dozens of times in the last 25 years or so, and there's always something lacking. Most recently, RTX support in Steam. Meanwhile, I have Ubuntu servers with > 1 year of uptime, and it would have been more if not for an UPS failure. Right tool for the job IMO.

100th comment! tbh, i totally get this. using the command line is much easier and a lot less "restricting" quote unquote than using GUI tools.
