I have made a decision to start a Linux server for some projects (files, media, etc.). However, I don't know what would be a good server for me to use. Is there any good choices for me to use? I use EndeavourOS for my laptop and my desktop, if that matters.

Server specs: 2GB RAM 240GB SSD

(This is my first server, hopefully I will be able to upgrade after some time)

    Fedora has virtually only a small grace period between releases.

    This part is inaccurate. Fedora releases every 6 months, like Ubuntu interim releases, but supports them for 18 months. Additionally, Fedora supports skipping a single release. So, for example, you could run Fedora 35, skip 36, and upgrade straight to 37. While not supported as long as the Ubuntu LTS, Fedora is supported for longer and more flexible than the Ubuntu interim releases.

      Yes that’s correct. But I see 18 months maintaine windows for a complete distro upgrade is fairly often. Ubuntu Interim is in my opinion not really suited for server applications due to the small support windows.

      Rocky Linux9 security EOL is in 8 years for the other end. In that context fedora is a lot more “short lived”.
