From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which distro in your opinion is the best for virtualization (Windows 10 on either KVM or VMware), stability, and speed? (lemmy.world)

For just two VM, any Linux distro is enough, virt-manager to easily run those VMs up and done. The default network will allow them to communicate between their NAT. Proxmox sounds too many complications for just some testing or development stuff.

Proxmox is a lot more user friendly than virt-manager (yes I've used both, but I just started using proxmox).

But Proxmox is a big web interface app with many packages, right? virt-manager looks much easier than installing Proxmox.
