FreeBSD & 9Front. BSD for my media server and 9front for my web server.
On what hardware do you run 9front?
I have a VM on my FreeBSD desktop with Bhyve. I have 2 ThinkPads, an x61t & x201t that run it. I also have a Raspberry PI3B+ that runs it, and is my web server.
Synology DiskStation Manager.

Fedora Server, with most of the services I need running via Docker.
slackware, freebsd, netbsd
Proxmox, Openmediavault, Ubuntu Server. Mostly because I’m lazy and I grew up using Ubuntu.
I have several servers I’ve acquired over the years setup in a proxmox cluster
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.
Rocky, but I’ll probably give Debian a try next time I decide to nuke my install
I’m currently contemplating switching to Rocky. What makes you want to get away from it?
The OS experience is good, but I want to get away from RHEL/CentOS and clones due to Red Hat’s decisions in recent years
hypervisor: proxmox
vms: rhel 9.2
I use Proxmox, running a mix of regular and NixOS based LXCs. One of those also runs Docker for simpler services.
Debian. It is rock solid. If software doesn’t support Debian, chances are it supports something Debian based. You never have to worry about an update breaking your computer. It is the perfect “it just works” distro for a server.
Just to be controversial, macos. It’s nothing fancy, just the arrs and Jellyfin running on an old MacBook air.
Wouldn’t Linux be easier to manage and better in terms of performance?
Maybe, but I’m not a huge Linux user and every time I dip my toe in I run out of tinkering time. Plus I had the Air laying around and it all installed so easily.
I was just curious. Use whatever works best for you.
All good! The laptop I was using Linux on I installed batocera on instead 😊
