When I decided to set up my own server my only Linux experience was experimenting with regular Ubuntu. So Ubuntu server was the closest thing to it, and I figured I would have to re-learn fewer commands. It’s also been my impression that because a lot of inexperienced folks like me start with Ubuntu, that’s where the most beginner-friendly instructions are likely to be. I didn’t really know what Debian was.

Fair enough.

FWIW, Debian is 98% the same anyway since Ubuntu is downstream from Debian. I'd choose Ubuntu over Debian for desktops but opposite for servers.
