What OS are you using on your VPS?
They are different hosting services in the world, sure, but...
Some offer only a few choices, most are based on Debian Linux and therefore save a lot of resources, unlike most Windows systems.
Choosing OS is not easy and is often dictated by need and software, ...and processor emulation.
Now what OS on your VPS ?

Ubuntu 20.04 - Ubuntu 22.04 - Debian 12
For some RDP, I have Windows Sever as well...
Same
For webhost activity I use Debian, for RDP Windows
Very good OS .. lighter than Ubuntu for servers.
The problem is that all Free Panels are made for Debian / Ubuntu.
I agree less support it, but still plenty of options.
aaPanel, Virtualmin, Control-WebPanel, FASTPANEL, Cloudpanel.io.
Share with us if you know a good panel without bugs.
The only web panels I run are DirectAdmin for my personal/business server and SPanel for web hosting clients. So both paid.
This made me laugh until my stomach hurt
Most of my servers run Ubuntu, but I currently have one VPS on Windows. I’d like to switch that VPS to Ubuntu as the host and run Windows inside as a nested VM. Has anyone had success running Windows VM’s on Ubuntu with minimal performance loss on a VPS? I’ve used VMware on Windows hosts before and it was very fast.
Do any of yall recommend a good hypervisor for best Windows VM performance in a nested environment? If anyone could recommend me one for my use case, it would be appreciated
80% have Debian 12, rest are Ubuntu
I am using AlmaLinux, Ubuntu, and Debian.
Most customers use AlmaLinux or Ubuntu.
Selinux is hard even after I ran the command it gave me to allow that action it still didn't work Debian very comfy if running single purpose boxes for the same security
Before I used Ubuntu but now I’m more of an Almalinux fan. I don’t even know why I switched but I ain’t reinstalling my OS just to move to Ubuntu.
My home server is still on Ubuntu though for the same reason I’m not moving to Ubuntu on my VPS and Dedis.
Who in the good fortune, doing dual boot on VPS?
Debian

Always Debian for servers, mostly Windows for my desktops
I reinstall Debian as docker host and use tianon/docker-qemu to install Windows VM in docker container. CPU benchmark on Windows VM = 92% of on Debian host.
