"Linux is best" is uttered by those living in their mother's basement having arm chair arguments online, while fapping to pictures of the girl they had a crush on in 9th grade.
Linux (especially vanilla distros like Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, etc) in the home lab is for those that hate themselves and like making everything as difficult as possible.
Now that said, while Windows has gotten absurdly better over the years as far as stability goes, it's still not my personal cup of tea for a home server.
For me, Unraid, hands down and not a second guess. While it is Linux based, you need to know exactly nothing about Linux to run it. Which is the best part, never needing to never learn anything about archaic commands of things that you will never need to know in your day to day life.
TrueNAS deserves an honorable mention, but it's best left out of the home server space for a large variety of reasons. Excellent for business where you have business budgets.
