TL;DR: have a server and want an OS for it. Currently using CasaOS. Any and all recommendations GREATLY appreciated.
I have a homeserver that I have 36TB of storage for and I want a nice simple OS to use.
I’m currently using CasaOS but I keep hearing bad things about it such as very poor security.
I’m thinking of moving over to Cosmos OS which is similar but lacks a file manager.
I really just want to be able to use Jellyfin/cloudflare/other fun apps. I also don’t know annnything about linux so I love these web GUIs.
Im open to some kind of linux desktop but preferrably something with very minimal experience needed.
Thanks!
Do you need a desktop environment on the server itself or will you just log in from another computer via ssh or a web based gui?
If you’re going the Docker route and running everything in containers it’s much of a muchness really. Just pick a common distribution that’s well documented, don’t install a desktop environment, and install Portainer as a web ui to manage your Docker environment. I’ve done it on Arch, Debian and Ubuntu.
