Actually the WMF servers run Ubuntu, and it refers to the apt-get install mediawiki method as being unsupported

I think that's referring to the package distributed by Ubuntu/Canonical, not support for running the app if you install it via some other method.

"*Warning:* MediaWiki can also be installed using aptitude. The Ubuntu MediaWiki package is unsupported and usually outdated. We do not
recommend
you use it."
I suppose that could refer only to aptitude and not Ubuntu support as a whole.

I have experience with Ubuntu but MediaWiki says that Ubuntu is unsupported.
Where, when, why what? I mean, from where do you have that info?
Which Linux distro would people recommend, and which distro of Linux does WMF use for MediaWiki?
It's quite amusing in the view of what you said: it's… Ubuntu :p [0]
And basically anything that can run some web server (e.g. apache,
nginx)
with php support should work. I think it would be hard to find a distro that wouldn't work.
