Can someone explain the benefits of LXD without the opinionated crap?
Since you didn't include a link to the source for your recommendation:

I've been on Proxmox for 6 or so months with very few issues and have found it to work well in my instance, I do appreciate seeing another alternative and learning about it too! I very specifically like Proxmox as it gives me an actual IP on my router's subnet for my machines such as Home Assistant. So instead of the 192.168.122.1 it rolls a nice 192.168.1.X/24 IP which fits my range which makes it easier for me to direct my outside traffic to it. Does this also do this? Based on your screenshots, maybe not, IDK.
Thanks for the link! I've been running Proxmox for years now without any of the issues like the previous commenter mentioned. Not that they don't exist, just that I haven't hit them. I really like Proxmox but love hearing about alternatives. One day I might get bored and want to set things up new with a different stack and anything that's more free/open is better in my book.
Your comment is wrong in a few ways and suggests using a LXC which is way slower than docker or podman and lacks the easy setup.
Proxmox is good because it makes it easy to create VMs and setup least access. It also has as new of kernel as stable Debian so no, its not terribly out of date.
If you want to suggest that someone install Debian + Docker compose that would make more sense. This isn't a good setup for more advanced setups and it doesn't allow for a not of flexibility.
How well does it handle backups, and are they deduplicated incremental ones like proxmox backup server makes?
That makes sense, but no remote backups over the network? Local snapshots I don't really count as backups.
