I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.
- What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
- What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?
- What resources do you know of to help a non-computer-scientist/engineer get started in self-hosting?
Can you clarify on how NixOS is great for selfhosting? I was going to do mint.
As far as operating systems goes, i would recommend Debian or Ubuntu. These are very wiedly used and there are many resources. And if you are brave, you can start without a Desktop.
