Back in the 80's and 90's I ran a Commodore BBS, Image BBS to be exact. Then went to an Amiga BBS Excelsior! (Ran this on a Amiga A3000), went to WildCat! v5 on WIndows 95 when it was released. Took the BBS down in 97. 

Got back into it in 2018, wanted to run Mystic in a Windows VM on a Linux Mint base, but was to stupid to understand Mint at the time. I run 5 boards now, 1 Commodore 64 board on a PC with Vice Emulation (although I do have the real hardware to run it why should I kill the hardware?), an Amiga C-Net BBS on a WIndows 10 machine with WinUAE emulation. A SynchroNet in Win 10 also, and Mystic in Win10 plus a Synchro Door Server also in Windows 10. All of these machines are Virtual Machines in Proxmox.. Everything else I have is all Debian now.. Except for my main daily driver which if it weren't for a driver issue would be on debian, but is instead on Win 11..
