I have generally favoured ubuntu LTS editions over the years, more out

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.
It is a big program that covers a lot of ground. What is disconcerting
is that you see the dependencies called out instead of being wrapped
into a blob.
Not going to make much difference to the dependencies but this:
sudo apt install postgis=3.0.3+dfsg-2.pgdg20.04+1
should actually be:
sudo apt install postgresql-12-postgis-3=3.0.3+dfsg-2.pgdg20.04+1
The first form has a dependency on the latest Postgres, so will want to
install Postgres 15.
