Linux Server OSes? (self.linux)

I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?

I'm planning on using Debian but was wondering if there are any other good free options to consider.

Debian.

Proxmox (which is heavily Debian) if the use case is to host VMs and/or LXC containers. Debian on those.

I'd go with basic Debian and Incus over Proxmox. I think Proxmox modifies the kernel but I'm not sure why that is necessary? I've had kinda buggy experiences with some installations and with their UI.
