I just start using my homelab to host some new good services, and I want to know what is the approach of a docker setup, what is the best distro for? How to deploy them correctly? Basically I'm a real noob in this subject. Thank you

When I tried it last (a couple years ago), the docker snap was an untroubleshootable mess. I don't like the idea of running Docker that way, in whatever version of a container that Canonical has come up with for snaps. It's just looking for problems. Run an application with Snap if you want, but a whole container system? No thanks.

I just don't use snaps and it works great for me. For docker I add their apt repository and install it like that.

Well, I wasn't using snaps and it still decided to install Docker snap on me. 2 days of troubleshooting before I figured out that the snap existed and was having a war with my apt install of docker. Never again.

I avoid apt because it does silly stuff. Always use apt-get. I suppose having to know that quirk is a con of the distro.

Oh those are not the same?! TIL. Just thought they made it more convenient.
