So I had this idea to use a macbook air m1 with a broken screen as a server to run a few apps, which are:

• Jellyfin with DUMB using this tutorial
• a network wide adblocker (i don't know how to do that yet but I'll find a way)
• Nextcloud, maybe to store photos and some documents
• maybe a VPN, might be useful someday

SO my questions are :

When installing linux asahi on my macbook I am prensented with these few options:

• Fedora with GNOME / KDE
• Fedora server
• Fedora minimal

1. Which ones seem to be the most adapted to my use case?
2. will I be able to manage the server using another device? my main preoccupation is that with a broken screen and a minimal GUI, connecting to a external screen might be difficult at first.
3. Should I wipe Macos all together. I dont really need it anymore, would 70GB of space allocated to linux suffice?
4. Is this a good idea? Using a MBA M1 as a server seemed to be a good idea to me, given the minimal power consumption, and in the tutorial above they mention that :

5. any recommendation? I am not exactly new to linux because I used to use Linux as a my main desktop as my computer wasn't deemed worthy by microsoft to update to Windows 11, but I am definitely new to this kind of project, so any insight is welcomed and appreciated.

Oh and PS: sorry for bad english
