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.

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.
I tried to use fedora server or was it cloud? Idk but I tried fedora as a server and wanted to set up a VM but got confused. Storage pools scared me away. Will try to learn it when I have the time
Alpine Linux, everything is in containers :)
