I use rhel/rocky Linux exactly because of this. I don’t need the latest software on my home server, and i am reasonably sure i can run yum update without messing up my system.
Most of the time people complain about system administration when self-hosting it’s because they’re using some kind of meme-distro that inevitably breaks (which is something you don’t want on a server, irrespective if it’s at work or at home).
Bonus point: i can run rootless containers with podman (orchestrated via docker-compose).
And i get professionally curated software (security patches backported, selinux policies, high-quality management and troubleshooting tooling).
