I also met this guy's husband on grindr.

I realise my comment may have come off as rude and made me sound like an asshole.

Nah, all good :)

Sure, you could use debian (nice meme), but i have an irrational aversion to it, mostly rooted in its packaging system

Yeah, their GPL "compliance" is a disgrace. 

My thinking was that while the initial setup time might be comparable, i'm banking on saving time with long-term maintenance. Most regular linux distributions have so many moving parts that often also change from one major version to the next. One could argue a bespoke minimal installation based on alpine or something would alleviate that, but at the cost of much more setup time (for me, at least). But i'm not saying my way is particularly the best; it's just what works well enough for me.

Appreciate your words!

Well, i get your snark but i disagree. To me, the annoying part of sysadminning is the "keeping things running" part. Doing them once is unavoidable.
