I'm new to Linux and all the server stuff have now installed an ESXi for testing on an old ThinkCenter M93P.
I used Ubuntu Debian and have now been confronted with Alpine through installation instructions.
Photon should also be interesting. I am now looking for a resource-saving "basis" for installing various apps.
The only thing I liked about proxmox was that you could easily create CTs (Linux containers) from templates and then start installing the APP straight away.
I am now looking for a similar possibility for ESXi to find resource-saving templates for the respective VMs.
Hence, my question
Which Linux distributions “speak the same language” ?
What can you recommend me for this purpose.?
Would like to start with several separate VMs.
Docker is still too suspicious for me.
