I wouldn’t have expected it to make much difference. On my self-hosted instances I’m running Ubuntu on the server but this is about what’s running **inside** the Discourse Docker container (which can be anything - many Docker containers use a lightweight OS like `alpine`). It won’t affect the server OS.
