Proxmox with latest Debian i guess, but all virtual machines are on Ubuntu 23.10. It's just the easiest to install things on, and have a semi-recent kernel, even though I would never use it on the desktop.
I actually wanted to run arch in the vms but I couldn't find any image with the latest arch. The latest I found was with kernel 6.3.
Debian with Yunohost.
Ubuntu LTS because that's what I was most comfortable with at the time, now I'd really like to switch over to Debian but I'm not sure I can be bothered until I really have to, everything is working well at the moment. It's running in Proxmox.
One with Arch that runs gameservers for my friends, and another that runs Proxmox filled with either Arch or Debian in the containers depending on what it is in them.
Ubuntu, but I'm very strongly considering switching out to Debian or Rocky. Ubuntu has a lot of really unnecessary cruft that I think I'd be better off without.
I use Fedora on my laptop now, so going the RHEL/Rocky/Alma route for my servers is really tempting. Especially as I'm also considering switching to Podman.
Proxmox on physical servers hosting a variety of vanilla Debian installations. I have a physical router running pfsense as well as two HP miniservers running OpenMediaVault.
Fedora

I'm currently on ubuntu and fedora. I'd love to try coreos
Mythbuntu. It started its life as a MythTV server.
Arch for stuff I have physical access to. Nothing's ever gone wrong, so it's worth it for the immediate updates and consistency with my other systems. For VPS I use Debian though, occasionally the unstable/Sid branch if I really need the latest updates. There are almost always Debian images available on a VPS.
hypervisor: proxmox
vms: rhel 9.2
-
Alpine on Pi4.
-
LMDE on recycled AMD systems (phenoms, opterons, FM2 APUs, oh and a recently dead bulldozer fx-8150).
-
TrueNAS, OPNsense on dedicated hardware.
-
VMware ESXi on my older workstations (currently transitioning toward LXD/Incus and ~~XPG-ng~~ XCP-ng with Xen Orchestra).
You mean XCP-ng?
Yes, 😅. Thank you for letting me know.
I typed correctly I'm pretty sure, but typing it again now it autocorrects to "C - C - P" now 🫤. Even more confused.
I'll edit my original post.
Fedora Server, with most of the services I need running via Docker.
Fedora Server
Arch which is great, but I want to move to FreeBSD or Proxmox for security reasons
Ubuntu and WinServer2019 vms split over a proxmox-machine and server2019-hyperv-machine
2 each for replication.
I have several servers I’ve acquired over the years setup in a proxmox cluster
Ubuntu server w/ zfs on the main.
Have a little atom hp home server at my parents house that uses almost no power, that runs freebsd x86, zerotier one, and kopia. Free cloud backup 😁
Proxmox, Openmediavault, Ubuntu Server. Mostly because I'm lazy and I grew up using Ubuntu.
TrueNAS, and Debian
