Do you have any recommendations on an OS as a server to self-host & use as a full btc node? I have an Optiplex to use and was thinking of Server 9 but I don't have ethernet access to the router, wifi only & Server 9 is not suitable for wifi. I'm a Linux user so not afraid to use that, I've just never installed or used a server before.

I believe umbrel has wifi
Ha, yeah I guess I didn't mention that I have Umbrel running on a Pi but I want something more robust, Umbrel is not very good imo. Anyway I'll probably use an Ubuntu server. I'm an Arch user but figure Ubuntu might be a better choice for a server.
If you have the tech skills, Ubuntu server with docker should take care of most of your needs
I used this guide:
On a Debian vps and just changed all the architecture from arm to amd.
I have done the core node, LND, and a few other things and that guide is amazing.
Lately I’ve been pasting these instructions into grok and telling it my architecture and having it write a shell script with my mods.
