I’m looking to switch. I like to tinker and try new things.

Replies I’d like to see:

Tell me what OS you’re using! What do you like about it? What don’t you like? What is your primary use for it?

I don’t just want recommendations for my use cases, though I’ll list it below. I want to learn what’s out there and what’s possible.

My Use Cases:

I’m currently using QTS that was preloaded on a QNAP NAS that I got used.

My main goal is to do more self-hosting. I want to be as independent and self-sustainable as possible. Like many of us, I’m burnt out on being treated as a product by big tech.

I’d also like to try to set up a game server for my Steam library.

Really, I just like to tinker. I like when things break or don’t go according to plan. I like to research a problem and fix it!

    For my home server I’m using unraid, super simple and i can add drives as I got. I have a bunch of containers running all the arrs, plex, jellyfin, steam-headless, immich, ollama, speedtest tracker, nextcloud, bunch of databases, rss, mastodon and a ubuntu vm for minecraft servers and a windows vm for when I need something windows related like using 360 tour software that i haven’t figured out how to use on my Linux systems yet.

    For desktop and laptop I’m running arch with hyprland
