I’m a Windows guy since forever and I recently got into selfhosting. So far its a blast! Are posts about that welcome here?

    My host OS is Windows Server 2022 because I Prefer it, HyperV works, Windows Backup works, and the drivers work. I then run a Linux VM for Docker and a few other VM’s for silly things. If I break a VM I can have it restored in a few clicks. I tried to use Proxmox as the host OS but it would kill itself every 6 months. It was a good learning experience but it would take a Lot of convincing to try it again.

      I’m gonna sound like everyone I complain about here, so feel free to ignore me. How did Proxmox break? I’ve been hosting a bunch of Proxmox containers on a 15 year old crappy laptop and it’s been smooth sailing for at least a year and a half.

      Not trying to shun you for using windows or discount your personal experience with Proxmox or anything, just genuinely curious. If you prefer windows, use it.
