You've gotten incorrect information on that front. Proxmox is actually built on top of Debian.

Right now I dont think so but maybe you put in a feature request because it is a good idea?

While you're in your planning stage, I would advocate for Proxmox. I really like it. Another contender would be xcp-ng.

I can only imagine that this project is not an easy one! Wishing you the best with it.

This is kind of intriguing. I like FreeBSD's userland tools a lot better. Have you tried running it? If not, I might see what it's all about. The GNU toolchain is a mixed bag. Some of it is really well documented, some stuff average, and others is just a dog's breakfast.

An active user, I believe, is someone that has logged in fairly recently and has done some form of activity.

Now there's a name I haven't heard about in a long time. I've pleasant memories of Slackware back in the late 1990s.

Yes, you can. You need a hypervisor that is capable of IOMMU. I know for a fact that you can do it with libvirtd and KVM/qemu. I think you can do it with Proxmox. That much said, I've no experience doing this myself.

I am not surprised in the least. Support contracts sold on fear, uncertainty, and doubt are money makers.

I have mixed feelings about this, but before I pass any kind of judgement, I want to see what directions this goes in. I happen to really like AlmaLinux. I run it as the OS on my proxy server and it has been very reliable. I am more critical of this misguided marketing notion of "Enterprise Linux." It has everyone in fear, most notably the PHB, of running Linux. If you have the in-house tools and expertise to run Linux, the whole "Enterprise Linux" FUD should not apply.

What the idiots in charge want is somebody to yell at if things don't work and to throw their weight around. What they don't know is that there is enough legalese in the terms of use to basically render Red Hat and IBM blameless. You know how difficult it is to sue a software company? It's very hard.

Exactly! Hate is unhealthy.
