I like Ubuntu Server. It’s got a nice installer that is simple and straight to the point, and lots of documentation. I’m also very familiar with it if I need to troubleshoot.
That said, I don’t like snaps and every new version pushes them harder. I’m currently learning openSUSE to see if it can become my new go-to for servers.
I always run Linux servers headless, so how the distro does GUI (if an option) is not relevant to me in this scenario.
The installer is much easier, and the github keys import is a nice touch. Last two servers I set up were Debian, because fuck forcing LXD as snap, and the installer was inferior to that of Ububtu took me about 3x the time to do the same setup.

Yeah I swore off Ubuntu the moment Apt started installing snaps unprompted.
Same. I’ll take dkms for zfs over snap every time.
