Proxmox and truenas for all my physical boxes and then Debian for all my VMs and LXCs. I’m not all that adventurous when it comes to OS choice as I found things that worked years ago and I’ve stick with them ever since as I’ve not seen anything that really looks like it does anything interesting/new that makes it worth switching.

Of you’re going foss for your OS why not take a look at Krita and gimp for your image editing needs?

I’ve not tried either in years at this point hut can’t hurt to check them out if you haven’t already.

Are we including the server editions because if so it was an exchange 2003 server I killed in 2019.
