I have generally favoured ubuntu LTS editions over the years, more out of familiarity than any particular good technical reason. In the past, postgresql on FreeBSD would have been my first goto, but it's harder to get freebsd skills out on the market than ubuntu/debian linux.
I do have one gripe about the packaged postgis packages : the list of dependencies seem quite enormous. For example, the previous poster mentions 234MB. I find the list of dependencies a little baffling and disconcerting.
Regards
Bob

After this operation, 234 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
I did not actually install as I don't use PostGIS, so I would not know
how to verify a clean install.
This:
deb https://apt-archive.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt focal-pgdg-archive main
comes from here:
https://www.df7cb.de/blog/2020/apt-archive.postgresql.org.html
The community packagers for deb packages have set up an archive repo for
older versions.
