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.

there is some overhead but it's not like running a full VM when you are talking about containers and it is way safer if you want to expose anything to the internet due to isolation
edit: i'm talking about containers in general, not proxmox exclusively. depending on your case proxmox will let you spin a whole VM if needed
