I prefer Debian or Alpine for CTs, depending on what I'm doing... 

Alpine can create a VERY light setup, but I prefer the stability and package manager of Debian for larger 'things'... I have my SpeedTest CT on Alpine - it just logs internet speeds and sips hardly anything from the PVE cluster at all... but Debian runs my docker/portainer CT and runs some 30+ containers inside of it to run my homelab applications - from an entire .torrent stack to HomeAssistant to Jellyfin and all the other things; having Debian underneath all that stuff sets me at ease b/c I know it will always have the updates I need and not introduce anything too 'new' that might mess things up...

Thats just me - following.
