Pretty much the title. I've seen plenty of people using proxmox and truenas but I don't really see many homelab users running Ubuntu server or something similar? Do many people actually use it to run docker or any containers on their machines? Just curious.

I'm running ESXi, but everything that I can run in Linux I do... I happen to really enjoy the simplicity and ease of use as Ubuntu Server offers me. I haven't found that in any other server environment for my uses, purposes, and lack of desire to try new things as I get older.

For me, basically everything works in Ubuntu Server and the new versions are stupid easy to upgrade to or restore setups to. So currently I've got like... 10 Ubuntu server vms going. The other like.. 3 are 2 windows server and 1 OPNSense.
