Which *nix OS to choose for a home server?

Question

linux

Tell me, what is good for a home server now? The main requirements are stable updates that do not break anything, at least security.
Now I have Arch on a soft raid, but it hovers that periodically something in Arch breaks when updating, I have to remove the server from the cabinet, connect a monitor, figure it out, so I don’t update it without special need, but I should. Now I want, in connection with the move to new hardware, to finish off this zoo and choose something more stable.

Answer 1

Arch, Gentoo, and, by and large, fryaha as a server - for masochists, since the procedure for upgrading the axis can be very delivering.
The correct choice would be a package-oriented distribution, the mainstream here is centos for rpm-admirers and debian for deb-admirers. The rest is for those who justify their choice with something.

Answer 2

I have Ubuntu 3rd year - the flight is normal.

Answer 3

Old Debian, plus many different packages due to the popularity of ubuntu-like distributions.
And why "remove" the server from the closet, because there is a remote connection, no one has canceled it :)

Answer 4

Arch, as far as I understand, source-based? Then by. Source-based and stability are things hmm... not exactly incompatible, but certainly standing at right angles to each other. Here I partially agree with Yuri Chudnovsky - the procedure for updating software and the world also sometimes leads to a state of "I'll kill everyone, I'll stay alone" and is certainly not designed for a user without skills.
Distributors with guaranteed working updates (and then, if you do not connect unverified turnips) are centos and debian. True, if there is no desire to compile the software yourself (and for users of packaged distributions it is usually not), then only systemd-files can get something relatively fresh, the rest can only get CentOS 6.8/Debian 7.11, in which software can come across at least not the first freshness .
