Best OS for a Map Server? (lemmy.world)

I want to set GeoServer in a machine that will also be hosting a webpage (a web map) and a database (PostgreSQL with PostGIS). Map layers will be stored in the DB, published in Geoserver and served to the Web.

I'm between Fedora Server and Ubuntu Server, I use Fedora Workstation as my daily drive, so I feel more leaned to Fedora Server. However I'm still new in the field and this will be my first time setting up a Server, so maybe Ubuntu has more documentation and thus more easy.

Any suggestion?

I'd be setting this up for my company, so maybe Ubuntu LTS will be better for maintaining. I'm also a bit scared of Fedora constant upgrades, I wouldn't mind for a personal project, but in a work environment maybe is better to have something more stable.
