I'm planning on retiring my old snapraid beast of a server, and I'm back and forth on miniPC vs normal build. I'm backing up to my server right now but I'm thinking it may be WAY easier to move backups to the cloud, and then my server becomes really just a docker system for HA, plex+torrenting, and some random python scripts. In that case, I would just use NVME in the system.

If I do that path, is there an OS ideal for that kind of setup? I know I could use Ubuntu with Portainer for docker, but honestly it would be nice to have a low maintenance system where I don't have to deal with OS updates and complications. unRaid sounded nice but it doesn't seem like it's really meant for (or even works with) a pure SSD/nvme system.
