I eventually intend to start some funny stuff I wanted a full OS for.
If I shift my end goal to run in a container then that would make more sense.
I initially went for Debian because I had a deadline for us to get back to gaming together.
I've seen loads of people use proxmax. As a windows admin I wanted a OS as a stepping stone.
I run Brazzite on my gaming rig and mint on my daily driver laptop now. Getting there.
Honestly I left proxmox/virtualization OSes a while back for simple RHEL. I have Docker for most everything and the few things I need full virt for the features Cockpit provides are more than enough. If I ever get back into clustering I'll look at proxmox again.
If you want a webui for the debian server that gives you logs, services, ssh terminal and more then I can recommend checking out Cockpit
https://cockpit-project.org/
If you decide you want to you can install KVM/Qemu on the debian host to get into full virtualization that way. The webui can be used to configure and manage the VMs too with https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-machines
edit: Cockpit also has a Docker manager, though I feel it isn't full featured yet. I mostly used it to stop and start dockers from my phone.

Totally fair. I also started with Debian for a Minecraft server, at the request of my partner. I might try out Icarus, is it cross platform?
Not sure if it's cross platform. We've been having lots of fun with it.
Its interesting in the sense that one person can buy all the content and additional players can just buy the base game and join a "unlocked" server to enjoy everything.
I've seen similar pricing models and it's kind of expensive but evens out the more people play with you.
I find it funny that advanced tech is explained away by you getting support from outer space. Vs games like Ark where you just magically know how to mess with electrical systems.
Starting with stone weapons is annoying but you can earn credits in game to start with 3D printed weapons/tools as you hop maps.
