Hi, mostly i use REHL based distros like Centos/Rocky/Oracle for the solutions i develop but it seems its time to leave…
What good server/minimal distro you use ?
Will start to test Debian stable.

You can definitely go wrong with an Ubuntu server
How? I’ve run several for years with no issue. They’re as stable as a rock
snaps are pretty insecure.
Snaps are pretty terrible IMO, so I usually end up bootstrapping a custom Ubuntu image without snap for this reason (and others) for my cloud images. Definitely not general purpose though.
Why not just use Mint, which strips snap outfor you?
Mint doesn’t build cloud images as far as I’m aware.
*citation needed
Go to the snap site and try to find a security section that describes how snap packages are signed. You won’t be able to find it because it doesn’t exist, and they don’t highlight their own security vulnerabilities.
What I can cite is how this should work, for example how apt signs all packages by default
Note how in the above doc there’s a message
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! ... Install these packages without verification [y/N]?That doesn’t exist in snap because snap does not authenticate downloads. It’ll just happily install something maliciously modified.
