 Provides hundreds of enterprise class features completely for free and additionally enterprise support, which is nice if one uses it for (work) infrastructure.

I have hundreds of VMs and container running on a hyper-converged ceph cluster without a sweat since Proxmox VE 4, always could upgrade in-place without any actual trouble, following the official upgrade how-to pays off I guess.

The PVE API is also great, allows for customization and automating lots of setup specific tasks; cannot wait until the software defined network is out of experimental preview, as that's one of the last things still missing (and from what I could gather in their forum and some testlab tries it seems pretty promising already).

 A good distro for a custom task.
In general I'm not a fan of distro proliferation, but when they have a custom purpose it is fine to have a new distro.
I have tested both the x86 version and the arm64 porting. On arm it is still a bit rough.
On x86 it is pretty simple to use: one can handle VM and containers easely.
Perfect for building a home lab.
If you intend to use it in production, well I strongly suggest to pay for the support.
For production I also suggest to use zfs to increase availability.

 I've been using Proxmox for the past 3 years and can't say enough good things about it. Easy to set up, creating containers or VM's is simple, and stability is really good.

I love that if one of my containers has an issue (either in an update to the service, or my own tinkering) I can easily go to my backups and restore the container in seconds. Even if you want to try something, it's easy to spin up a new container.

The only thing I could ask for is that the CPU temp be added to the summary page.
