Checked. I have happily used Xubuntu as both my main os and as my server's os for years. The server features:
>zsh
>zfs (1 raidz2 pool of 6 HDDs for storage and 1 stripped mirror (think raid 10) pool of 8 SSDs for streamed services - all the hardware's enterprise grade)
>nfs with autofs to deal with mounting
>grsync built on top of that, with the ability to rsync via bash remotely
>smbd for the gaymen machine
>plex (no, you don't need to pay, just use a vpn)
>deluge daemon/web service for torrents, which feed into the pools directly
>audiobookshelf
>ipmi/kvm support because I have a server mobo
>ssh/sftp (how I set everything up)
>tailscale (don't forget to self sign users/devices/2fa/config access list)
>nextcloud
>navidrome
It's fucking gas. I've run Xfce on my main machine ever since unity "dropped", and I've never looked back. Canonical deserves no small amount of criticism and makes plenty of retarded decisions, and snaps are generally gay, but if you want something you can run on a rock (I started ages ago on am3 gaming mobos like Asus m5a97 r2.0/900fx r2.0) that can be configured by anyone who can follow a guide with some copy+pasting terminal commands with solid support for both cutting edge and ancient trash, look no further.
