Proxmox.

/thread

Anything else you want to run, you can run in Proxmox. If it's too much hardware for what you're doing, all the more reason to run Proxmox. You can build an Arch VM, and NixOS VM, and whatever else you want in it!

If you go with just one of them right on the hardware, that's all you can do with it, you're done, you're stuck.

When you have Proxmox on it, you can try every OS! And then some! It is a superpower for learning.

Ahahahahaha, so it's going to be a self-hating Meta AI bot?

I mostly agree, and did the same with my second gen lab build - instead of shiny new NUCs like I had used round 1, I bought old off lease Dell Xeon boxes. SO MANY PROS -

• Got them up to 14c/28t each
• They can take GPUs and actually do heavy transcoding/ML work
• They can take up to like, 128GB of memory, which is GREAT when they're all hypervisors

The downsides can't be denied though -

• Even without the GPUs and beefed up CPUs, they are power hogs - the CPU alone uses more than an ENTIRE NUC
• They run HOT
• They run LOUD

The same holds true for off-lease SFF stuff, Lenovo and the likes ...

So while reuse/repurpose is absolutely of the utmost importance, no question - when it comes to technology and how quickly it advances and miniaturizes, a thorough and logical pros/cons list is often required.

I'd add another option though - if you do need what a Pi brings to the table - do you really need a shiny new Pi 5? Is it possible a used Pi 3 or Pi 4 would do the trick, and check the reuse box?

Plot twist: She won't be raped like if it had happened the other way around.

Proton, but I've been questioning that of late :-/

I learned about 16 years ago on a Solaris course that /usr wasn't "user", I still say "user", but I'm happy to see the information spreading that that isn't what it actually is.
