I work with VMs mostly, so I go for Veeam B&R. The free tier allows you to backup 10 VMs or machines.

You are still giving them traffic, just not directly.

I have a dual boot with High Sierra and Monterey. I went first for Monterey but my Terascale 1 GPU was causing the screen to flicker constantly and would not work with a second monitor. For some reason High Sierra was more stable. Then two weeks ago OCLP released another root patch which fixed all the problems of the Terascale 1 GPU and now they both work fine so I will probably upgrade Monterey to Ventura later this week.

I am both. I have MacOS on MacMini (late 2018) and MacOS with OCLP on MacPRO (early 2008).

+1 all my servers run Linux or FreeBSD, I use macOS as desktop (most of the stuff is neat and out of the box and it uses less resources) and I use Windows while working with my customers and some of their servers. I would definitely not choose Linux for desktop (I tried and gave up), but it is great for the servers.

I currently only use Meta products for marketing and because other people I know use it most.
