I used unraid for a long while. I recently switched to opensuse microos for a better desktop experience, and it's been fantastic

Fedora core os (FCOS) vms on XCP-NG with trueNas for persistent storage. With FCOS, vms configurations can stay version controlled and deployed using open Tofu (terraform) and butane/ignition.

XCP-ng hypervisor main box for my VMs, mostly Ubuntu Server but some Alma Linux VMs too. TrueNAS Core for my NAS box.
Might start switching my VMs from Ubuntu Server to Debian soon, we'll see.
I see so much Debian and no Alpine?
Switched from Debian to Ubuntu LTS few years ago.
Any reason why?
I use Raspian on my pi and Ubuntu on my workstation and I maintain a debian server at work.
I love 'em all. Ubuntu Snaps arent my fav. but other than that they've been great

Alpine Linux edge
I use Linux Mint, mostly because I'm familiar with it. If I was to redo it, I would likely just run Debian.
Used proxmox and truenas ended up on unraid and never looked back.
Windows 10 LTSC
3-Node ESXi cluster with 10 Debian VMs, 3 Windows VMs, and one FreeBSD VM
I tried to use fedora server or was it cloud? Idk but I tried fedora as a server and wanted to set up a VM but got confused. Storage pools scared me away. Will try to learn it when I have the time
Boxes that physically live in my home are mostly Manjaro. They’re also not externally accessible from the internet.
Anything in the cloud I standardize on Debian. Two distros and consistency makes maintenance much easier.
Anything in a container runs whatever it was built on because porting a docker compose file from, say, Alpine to anything else is just not worth the time and energy.
