The kind that is beginner friendly, where I can host some stuff like Jellyfin, some storage, git or similar, etc. Just for me and friends/family to access.
So, a file server, mostly. A laptop is fairly inadequate for that, but will work for small loads.
There are specialist distributions for that purpose, but you seem to want something more "generic".
You have a choice of trendy (what the forums like), or industry standard what'susedon real life servers) basically.
