I still use (K)Ubuntu desktop, but for servers I feel Centos Stream 9 is best choice for a homelab at the moment. Debian is also good. What these two distros have over Ubuntu, is easy and clear documentation. Ubuntu Server adds so much noise, they are changing too many things over the years. Network configuration documentation is a mess. I'm tired of googling for an example thats updated. For Centos I easily find examples that includes how to configure network services correctly with SELinux. Extra security without time wasted is good!
