Looking for a lightweight Free OS to host two Linux VMs on an older PC. It should support running a Minecraft server and a website without heavy features. I attempted VMware ESXi but it didn’t recognize my network card, and Oracle VM caused an installation error with missing documentation. Need suggestions that work well on older hardware.

Wouldn't it be better to set up a full Linux system directly instead of using virtualization?

Any Linux distribution works, I recommend Ubuntu.

You can host a web server and a Minecraft server on the same machine without extra complexity. If you need strict separation, consider Docker or Ubuntu Snap.
