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)

    Ok go run Virtualbox on an alpine distro and let me know how that goes for you.

      But why? I don’t have a need to run that on a server; I think it’s easy to ascertain I containerize my workflows rather than spin up entire VMs.

          So here’s my thing: not once has this been required for me to run any type of server on Alpine Linux.

          I think you’re confusing using it as a desktop environment or a “server” in the sense that you just want to do a bunch of stuff from a GUI.

          Maybe I’m wrong — I’m just speaking from personal experience — but right now it seems to me you might be relying on edge cases to prove a point.

          At this point there are many others also suggesting Alpine Linux so if you’d like to continue this conservation maybe those people have more insight into this problem.
