Best distro for retro gaming machine that's also a Nextcloud server?

I recently got a super cheap mini PC on sale (impulse purchase) and realized it'd make a perfect retro machine for PS3/xbox 360 emulation

The problem is that I also want to use it for Nextcloud storage and possibly to run Jellyfin and other local services that I currently run on my old and aging mini PC from circa 2017

I know batocera makes things easy for gaming and Debian has been my go to for server side of things, but is there something that combines both?

I'd like to be able to connect this mini PC to a monitor and have it default to some sort of a retro game frontend (eg emulation station) and then also have a nextcloud server and jellyfin run in the background as either individual services or as containers
Would something like EmulationStation Desktop Edition work for this?

If not, what are my choices?

I guess I could find a way to install all of the necessary retro stuff on top of Debian manually, but if there is an easier solution, I'd like to hear your suggestions
