Proxmox devs are so close to making it a nice experience for homelabbers but they just leave a fresh install mangled so badly you need a helper script to give you sane settings. Not to mention if you make an Ubuntu vm with default settings it won’t boot. Plus the Linux user elitism on the forums. I want to like it more so much
Preach, in using proxmox myself but they still haven’t fixed bug when you install it from ventoy it tries to boot system from ventoy when system already installed on main drive, resulting in kernel panic, this bug still persists since 8.* Versions, and i have to fix it manually every time i install proxmox on another second hand pc/laptop for my homelab, for people who think it’s ventoy issue i write that i didn’t have this bug with any other distro, not even with god forsaken manjaro didn’t had this bug when i tried it three years ago
If you’re using proxmox in a production environment and making money it doesn’t cost much at all compared to VMware. I see it as helping fund production of software that right now still seems very solid
Proxmox nagging subscription message on login be like

But yes if you’re running this in prod, pay for it. It’s not expensive and way less then Broadcom VMWare…

Apparently you can turn those off but I haven’t bothered.
