Bought a used corpo mini pc and I wanna set up a local server for NAS backups and general tinkering with containers

It’s it worth looking at anything but my beloved debian? Does Ubuntu bring anything novel to the table? Fedora?

    Perhaps. But if you have the resources (I’m running an n100 with 16g ram and it can handle a lot, thanks to Linux containers having very low overhead) then proxmox means you can easily add another function later. There are a few self-hosted services that suddenly stop seeming like too much hassle once you already have a virtualization platform with web UI. Maybe you decide you want a torrent client, or a home assistant installation, or next cloud etc etc
