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

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.
3-Node ESXi cluster with 10 Debian VMs, 3 Windows VMs, and one FreeBSD VM
Boxes that physically live in my home are mostly Manjaro. They’re also not externally accessible from the internet.
Anything in the cloud I standardize on Debian. Two distros and consistency makes maintenance much easier.
Anything in a container runs whatever it was built on because porting a docker compose file from, say, Alpine to anything else is just not worth the time and energy.
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.
Armbian
Fedora Server
hypervisor: proxmox
vms: rhel 9.2
Alpine Linux, everything is in containers :)
Used proxmox and truenas ended up on unraid and never looked back.
I use Linux Mint, mostly because I'm familiar with it. If I was to redo it, I would likely just run Debian.
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.
I see so much Debian and no Alpine?
Alpine Linux edge
