The reasons us elders use VI is because on a new installation, it was the only thing available until:

  1. You are lucky enough to find a compiled version of PINE/PICO, or

  2. You have the compiler installed, and can get the source code and build it yourself.

For some reason, some elitists decided that if you don't know that, then you are a failure. But honestly, when modern distros started coming out with WYSIWYG-type editors, it was a relief, even though I reverted to VI/VIM because of muscle-memory, I do not push it on new users. It's the same argument people make for driving manual vs automatic, sure it's useful, but when was the last time you even saw a manual car? (At least in North America).

You want to live dangerously, go ahead and put NetBSD with just the basics and leave the rest of us who want to do something useful alone.

    Try posting the kernel panic messages, they should give an idea about the failure.

    Proxmox has its own custom kernel, it may be something in the new 7 branch as opposed to the conservative 6 branch that Debian uses.

    99% of the time it will be some driver that you don’t really need and can disable.

    It wasn’t as dramatic as it sounds honestly. I was going down the service ladder and had to stop and test the cable halfway through.

    My manager at the time turned white as a sheet when he found out I did that.
