Hey, folks I’m moving my main PC to linux soon, and for that I have settled on Mint. However, I also plan to build a homelab pc for the first time to selfhost some services, mainly Jellyfinn, some game servers, and possibly next cloud, but I’m unsure which distro to go with for that.
I have some experience running debian headless (on an orange pi) and I can use ssh and the cli just fine, however, I also want the server pc to (maybe) serve as a moonlight client in my living room, so I was leaning towards something that is not headless, and I am unsure if I should also go with Mint for that or if something else might be more suitable.
Yeah, there’s no way I can build another machine in this economy haha Especially because I’m in SA, and here hardware costs 2x-4x
You literally say in your post you’re building another machine.
Make it a single purpose machine that does the thing you need it for.
They could be building with components leftover from other builds, not entirely buying them.
I get it, I live in Latin America so I doubt they will find any NAS affordable (edit i assumed SA was south africa lol, and it’s brazil so yeah everything there will be WAY MORE EXPENSIVE)
