I have some scrapers and a Python script that I need to run continuously throughout the day. To handle this, I recently purchased a mini PC (Intel NUC) because I find cloud solutions too complicated, and I can't keep my MacBook open all the time. Now, I'm seeking your suggestions on the best Linux distribution to use for my specific use case.
Here are some points to consider:
I currently use Homebrew to install packages.
I mainly need the terminal to execute code, just like I do on macOS with my MacBook Pro.
Having cron jobs would be great as I want to automate tasks.
I have no problem with a basic user interface; simplicity is preferred.
A lightweight distribution would be ideal to ensure optimal performance.
I need support for Chrome drivers since I use Selenium for Python.
It's important to note that I have no previous experience with Linux, so an easy setup and configuration would be a significant advantage.
Your suggestions and advice would be highly appreciated!
