I'm planning to set up a Kubernetes cluster on VMware Workstation Pro with one control plane and two worker nodes using kubeadm. I'm trying to decide between using Ubuntu Server or Debian. Which one would be the better choice? Thanks in advance for your insights!

I run my Kubernetes clusters using a Proxmox server, which is basically a Debian system with extra packages. It lets me quickly create and destroy clusters. If you want flexibility and speed, this could be worth considering!
Debian Stable is a solid choice if you prefer a more conservative approach with kernel versions and drivers. Just keep in mind that it might not support the latest hardware as well as Ubuntu could. If you value stability and community-driven development, Debian is your go-to.
I've been using Ubuntu Server 22 for my local Kubernetes cluster, and it's been working great for me! Definitely gives you the functionality you need.
Ubuntu is the usual choice for Kubernetes certifications like the CKA exam, so I would recommend going with it. There’s a minimal version of Ubuntu server that’s lighter because it removes a lot of unnecessary packages, but you can always add what you need later.
