Rocky & RHEL

I use Linux Mint, mostly because I'm familiar with it. If I was to redo it, I would likely just run Debian.

Gentoo because it can do it all

[–] Shimitar@feddit.it 1 points 9 months ago

Fellow Gentooer, Gentoo rocks!

Used proxmox and truenas ended up on unraid and never looked back.

3-Node ESXi cluster with 10 Debian VMs, 3 Windows VMs, and one FreeBSD VM

I used unraid for a long while. I recently switched to opensuse microos for a better desktop experience, and it's been fantastic

Alpine Linux, everything is in containers :)

TrueNAS SCALE as host with an Ubuntu LTS VM running Docker containers.

Original I went with only containers running on top of SCALE but both iX and TrueCharts made it harder to run plain Docker Compose on TrueNAS.

I see so much Debian and no Alpine?

[–] Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

XCP-ng hypervisor main box for my VMs, mostly Ubuntu Server but some Alma Linux VMs too. TrueNAS Core for my NAS box.

Might start switching my VMs from Ubuntu Server to Debian soon, we'll see.

Rocky, but I'll probably give Debian a try next time I decide to nuke my install

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm currently contemplating switching to Rocky. What makes you want to get away from it?

Switched from Debian to Ubuntu LTS few years ago.

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Any reason why?

I use Raspian on my pi and Ubuntu on my workstation and I maintain a debian server at work.

I love 'em all. Ubuntu Snaps arent my fav. but other than that they've been great

@melandroph@lemmy.dbzer0.com Good old Debian

[–] fedorafan@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 9 months ago

Fedora core os (FCOS) vms on XCP-NG with trueNas for persistent storage. With FCOS, vms configurations can stay version controlled and deployed using open Tofu (terraform) and butane/ignition.
