From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That depends on what the sever runs. For my NAS, sure, Debian is fine. But I don't expect it to run anything that bleeding edge, and if I do there are often containers.

However, two years ago I tried to bring up a new headless NUC as a Plex server with Debian (because that's what I've been using for the last 20 years) but had to give it up because of all the hoops you have (had?) to jump through to get it working with Quicksync in Debian. With Ubuntu it just worked.
