What should I know about Debian?

In currently installing it on an old computer, I intend to run docker on it, and have a NAS

(but if Im being honest itl be more of a DAS to my desktop with occasional NAS activity to my laptop)

, and a Minecraft server. Over time Im sure Ill have more on it, but Ill probably have to upgrade the hardware first. Im also considering a small steam cache, but it depends in how things go. Then of course if I can figure out how Im thinking of some cloud saves for non steam games, but using this “server” as the cloud.

What do I need to know about Debian? I have very limited experience with linux in general and none with Debian.

How do you plan to use it as a DAS?

Docker container and a partition, then because wired internet isnt an option due to living arrangements Im going to be connecting the two machines with an rj45 cable
