Should I go with Ubuntu Server or TrueNAS Scale or something else? (alien.top)

Hello

I cannot decide which OS I should I install, I have the following machine which will be on 24/7:

intel Core i7 9700
2x32GB RAM
1x 256GB M.2 SSD (Booting OS)
2x4TB Samsung 870 QVO

and I will use it for:

NextCloud or other self-hosted cloud
Git Server (Git Tea or GitLab)
Plex Server
VirtualMin
DNS Server
FTP/Samba Server
Remote Downloader

I am a Web Developer and most of apps can also be ran with docker or in a VM and I will be also developing my own APIs so portability is essential because in the future some of the apps will be ran on a VPS

I am also comfortable reading documentation and configuring everything with ssh/CLI, so configuring things with a UI is nice to have but not mandatory.

I have played with both Ubuntu Server and TrueNas Scale in the past, felt comfortable with both but still for my needs, its a little bit unclear to me with which I should go for.
