In this video, I break down how to choose the right operating system for your homelab, including the pros and cons of different hypervisors and Linux distributions. I talk through the main things to consider when building a homelab setup, like hardware compatibility, ease of management, virtualization support, containers, storage, networking, and long-term flexibility.
I also cover popular hypervisor options and where they make sense, along with different Linux operating systems depending on whether you want stability, a beginner-friendly experience, or maximum control. Whether you’re starting your first homelab or rethinking your current setup, this video should help you decide what platform fits your goals best.
