Well to be precise:
- How does one install it? On a hypervisor? On a regular distro + KVM?
- Should I go with Proxmox/Debian/some other distro?
- I already installed Flatcar Linux, is this also suitable?
To add, hypervisor is very low level, below the operating system often. Hypervisors allow you to run multiple operating systems on the same hardware.
Containers are isolated processes running within an operating system using stuff like cgroups.
