I'm partial to Mint and Debian commands. Anyone have a suggestion before I go balls deep into a Mint distro build?

Why not Mint? Just use what you like. It doesn't matter nearly as much as people say.

Personally I like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). It, with Cinnamon, is what I use for my home servers.

You could get an arch based distro and let the distro maintainers handle it. I use EndeavourOS and its been great for the past 3 years
