I’ll start with mine. yes part of this was to brag about my somewhat but not too unusual setup. But I also wanna learn from your setups!
Anyways: I primarily use Gentoo Linux.
I have two headless servers: a Raspberry Pi 4B and a Oracle cloud VM (free tier). Both running OpenRC, and both were running mainline kernel with custom config (I recently switched the Pi to PiFoundation kernel due to some issues). The raspberry pi boots from SSD and has no sd card inserted.
Both servers were running musl libc instead of glibc for a while. This gave me a couple of random issues, but eventually I got tired and switched back to glibc.
I have a desktop running gentoo and a laptop running arch, but hoping to switch the laptop to gentoo soon.
Both are daily driving wayland (the desktop had nvidia card and used for gaming). The desktop is running a kernel with a minimal config that compiles in 2-3 minutes.
What’s your unusual setup like?
I’m thinking about running Proxmox on my current laptop but the battery life would be terrible
I really wouldn’t recommend it on a laptop if you want to use it as a portable, battery-powered device.
It would be fine if I could passthough power information. It would take a little doing but I could pass though the GPU and USB controller to a VM along with Power information so that it would work like a normal install.
I would need to use Debian as the base hypervisor so that I could use Disk encryption. Also Proxmox frankly is a bit overkill.
