Pretty much the title. I've seen plenty of people using proxmox and truenas but I don't really see many homelab users running Ubuntu server or something similar? Do many people actually use it to run docker or any containers on their machines? Just curious.

Nearly every VM in my proxmox clusters are Ubuntu server. In my opinion it is a great OS for several services that didn’t require a gui. I like it more than debian

Debian doesn't install a gui by default, except for live cd and has a smaller footprint than Ubuntu.

Legit question. What is exactly that draws you to Ubuntu over Debian?

The only thing that might matter for me is zfs support on the installer. But tbh I dont mind doing it manually. I treat my machines as disposable anyway
