I have made a decision to start a Linux server for some projects (files, media, etc.). However, I don’t know what would be a good server for me to use. Is there any good choices for me to use? I use EndeavourOS for my laptop and my desktop, if that matters.

Server specs: 2GB RAM 240GB SSD

(This is my first server, hopefully I will be able to upgrade after some time)

    My server is 2 GB, and for self hosted stuff it’s good enough. Granted, I use Gentoo, but I wouldn’t expect debian would be much higher unless you’re running something.

    I run postgres and a file server on mine. I’ve previously ran NextCloud. It was a liiittle slow, but I think I was CPU bound (raspberry pi).

      Tbh all modern mainstream distros are lightweight I give you that. But there are always exceptions. Something like PopOS (I know not a server distro) can hog a lot of resources, so those are not suited.
