From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well this thread clearly established that I neither have technical knowledge and I don't pay attention to spelling...
Jokes aside this is a good explanation. I have seen admins using vSphere and it kind of makes sense. I'm just starting to scratch the surface of homelab, and now started out with a raspberry pie. My dream is a full fledged self sustaining homelab.
If you ever want to get a Proxmox cluster go for 3-5 identical machines. I have a 3 totally different machines and it creates headaches
What kind of headaches are you having? I've been running two completely different machines in a cluster with a pi as a Qdevice to keep quorum and it's been incredibly stable for years.
One device decided to be finicky and the biggest storage array is all on one system.
It really sucks you can't do HA with BTRFS. It is more reliable than ZFS due to licensing
What's the licensing part you mentioned? Can you elaborate a little?
OpenZFS is not GPL compatible so it can never be baked into the kernel in the same way BTRFS can. I've run into issues where I've needed to downgrade the kernel but if I do the system won't boot.
Btrfs also doesn't need any special software to work as it is completely native and baked in.
