From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sorry. I know that this or a similar question has been asked many times, and trying to find a decent answer i get redirected to reddit and blocked because of my VPN. I am looking for the preferred version of the above OS's for installing Docker based on easiness and stability/reliability once installed. Is there such a distro as DockerOS or a Distro with Docker preinstalled? I thought I read something like that last year when I was threatening to pull my finger out the first time and get something up and running, but now I am not sure whether or not I have imagined it.

TIA

Thank you for a great, detailed answer. Proxmox it is so. I was going with NixOS and definitely going to try Podman as I've been reading all about that while downloading and copying the Isos. I will be dedicating an entire machine and if I don't do it today, I fear it will be another year before I come back to it. 🥴 I'm going to start it now . Thanks again.

If it is a little home server Proxmox is difficult to beat.

Yep, that's the plan. Still didn't get around to it today. My "free" day and I've not sat down other than the few minutes earlier to write the OP and look at some of the replies l. Hopefully I'll have a few hours to myself after dinner.
