What operating system do you use for your home server? I’m planning to do unraid but what are the other options and why would you pick one or another?

I was an ESXi fan for over a decade until I found proxmox.

Now I use a combination of VMs and Linux containers.

I use containers for:

Pihole, Ubiquity WiFi Controller, Plex, Audio Bookshelf, imfluxdb, etc. And VMs for Home Assistant and Untangled.

Thanks, very interesting read. I’ve been to ESXi for 15 years more or less (first box was an atom miniitx vanilla board) but you really made me interested in PVE. As if I needed another project…

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ve never looked back, it’s a wonderful change.
