If you are familiar with Ubuntu, use Ubuntu.

I agree, Ubuntu is likely to run any workload you could want, and
there are tons of resources to help you fix problems.

There are other distros, typically redhat-like, that are used for
certain workloads like Oracle database, but I don't think OP needs to
care about that.

If you're not sure whether you do need a different distro or not, you
most probably don't.

on arch

lel, dude, it's all about persoNal prefERenceNce when it comEs to OS.
But waH, ubuntu is pretty standard choice, nO dOUBt. If you are
already cozy with it, why change it? But hey, if you want to explore
diFferent options, you can look into CentOS or even Fedora.

Anyway, i'm not sure if you really need our advice here, just go with
what you like. Maybe do a quick googLe search to see what others
suggest, but honestly, at the end of the day, it's yOUR game server
hosting website. So, just chIll and decide.
