I’m setting up a computer to play DVD and Bluray from, and i’d like it to also be able to host games like Terraria or Minecraft over the local network so i’m not doing that from the same computer i’m playing on.

Is there any distro in particular that’s good for this? Mint is what i’m most familiar with but i’m open to trying others.

    All the same. There will be no appreciable difference in any of them at the level you’re interested that can’t be tweaked and tuned from the apps you use.

    Edit: though if you want long running game servers, a small minipc that draws a tiny amount of power is a good way to continuously keep the server portion running without wasting a ton of energy. The Intel N100 or the Ryzen 5 (forget which) can both run below 12W, which is about the same as an LED light bulb.
