Hello,
I'm adding my experience with the free software over the last 2 years.
Zimbra, NextCloud, Proxmox VE and OPNSense work great, very stable 300+ days uptime, lots of users.
Since the beginning of this year I've started using Proxmox Mail Gateway, it works great local or VPS, a must have if you want in-house email server.
Zentyal 5.0.10 is stable and ok to replace windows server, if you need a free lan Domain Controller instead of workgroup.
Alfresco should be avoided, it's (very) difficult to configure, it has strange performance issues, and when things go wrong it's difficult to fix. It can be used as a repository, not an active NAS.
OpenProject is ok, if you need a multiuser MS Project or ProjectLibre alternative.
ZFS filesystem is ok for long time storage, but not so ok for Windows VMs.
For speed SSD and mdadm raid will work great (database, windows vm...).
Some final words, Debian and Ubuntu are my favorite flavors of Linux.
Both very stable, although I prefer Debian.
A Raspberry PI 3 used as Thin Client is more stable than all windows machines I've used (3.11 was the first).
Have fun,
