Love seeing Proxmox so high on the host OS list.

Just curious: why?

I never tried proxmox that’s why I’m asking :)

Debian foundation, built-in ZFS, decent web GUI, clusterable – all in all, a very good VMWare replacement.

Can I use Proxmox on generic hardware that will run Linux? I was unfamiliar with it but I am intrigued once I went to the website.

Probably. It runs on Debian. The Proxmox part is really just a management layer.

Yes! It runs on an old gaming PC for me, without flaws

I used to run it on an old PC I got for free from a school made circa 2007 with a core 2 duo and 2gb of RAM and it ran remarkably well for such an old machine.
