I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

So, if you don't know yet what you're doing, I wouldn't host anything critical yet, but I'm using:

https://yunohost.org/

And so far, very few troubles. It's a layer on top of Debian to ease self-hosting. Comes by default with email and XMPP server. You can add Nextcloud and many other services as you wish.

Doesn't looks like this is available for Linux? I have older hardware running Mint that this would be perfect for. Am I just missing it?

It IS literally a Linux distribution, based on Debian with a layer on top of it for easy admin and managing applications. So you don't install it on Linux, you just install it.
