I am completely fine with having this community for steam hardware. I don’t think it would be beneficial to have 10 smaller communities instead of one big. Lemmy is not a huge platform at the moment

The more I think about it the more I want to get a Steam Machine. My computer is around 15 years old now I am starting to wish for some more performance. I think the Steam Machine could last me many years to come.

It depends on the project/container. Some containers run Debian, some Alpine, some Ubuntu. I mostly rely on the community scripts from here and use the defaults.

I guess everything that supports containers, QEMU and KVM is compatible to use as a guest OS in Proxmox.

I would recommend to check out Paralives instead

Yes, as I said it’s a debian base. But Proxmox is built for servers and using it to host and share containers or virtual machines is super simple. Especially with the community helper scripts that can set up different self-hosting projects within minutes with minimal tinkering.

Personally I would recommend Proxmox. It’s a debian based distro for hosting containers and virtual machines
