Would that warning also apply to Mint, since it’s based on Ubuntu, as well as other Ubuntu-based distros?
I wouldn't use Mint or other desktop-focused OS for a server. Ubuntu's advantage of newer packages gets largely negated by how long Mint takes to release a new major release, so I'd rather use Debian.
I do think Ubuntu is fine for servers too, like almost any other point release distro.
Probably. I don't know what Mint or others do under the hood, but I do know they're definitely targeted at desktop use.
