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.

Proxmox VE is a packaging of Linux as an operating system. It is a distribution. Straight from the wikipedia page:
Cool way to respond to a comment btw:
The VMs I'm running in Proxmox are also Linux, but that's less interesting to me.
I gotcha. I meant no offense. I was halfway hoping you'd tell me there was a spin of proxmox that was meant for desktop use that containerized everything or something.
It's Debian-based so can install all the same desktop and window environments available there.
