@opensource l am completely new in the world of Linux. I wish to build up a computer having Proxmox, MX Linux and casa os, also retaining windows.

Can you please guide me in the process, how to start building one right from the scratch ?

    This is a tall order of you’ve never worked w bootloader’s or at least Linux wo x-windows.

    If you share your intentions; we’d be better able to help you reach your goals.

        That would explain it, especially the multi-distro request; that’s not a thing for newbies ime

          Some people are driven primarily by ambition, it’s not unheard of for a newbie to bite off much much more than they can chew. Depends on their humility

      @eldavi basically l wish to create a cloud ☁️ storage, something like GitHub and dropbox, where l can store a lot of data, including large sized video files, which l can access easily from anywhere and on any device. Proxmox would help me in this or no ?

        I would worry about your bandwidth, network infrastructure, security and even electrical bill wayyy before your Linux choices.

        Exposing your data and services are dangerous without domain knowledge. In terms of storage space and bandwidth, vps are wayy under charge. However, learning experience is also valuable. Have fun.

        these goals are achievable without proxmox, but there’s nothing wrong with using it; however it will give you a much steeper learning curve if you’ve never managed KVM/QEMU based virtual machines or software defined networking before.

        why proxmox? how do you intend to use mx linux, casa os, and windows? do you intend to use multi-booting with proxmox or using the each os as a proxmox virtual machine?
