Other than something like the already mentioned Proxmox, TrueNAS, Nix and things that just work entirely differently, not really. The only thing I'd add in there is something like Ublue's CoreOS built on top of Fedora if you're interested in atomic stuff. It comes with Cockpit already set up for a web interface. Assuming youre going to do everything in Docker or Podman already, its nice to have an atomic base to work from.
If you don't run VMs, then Proxmox is probably overkill and even then. I'm not a Nix fan because the knowledge curve to even get started doesn't seem worth it just for a home server. The advantage with Nix is reproducibility across many machines. And things like TrueNAS can be more annoying to work with for actual services if you're using it as both a NAS and server.
This is great info, thanks
