Unless it’s just a hardware driver issue?
I used Ubuntu for a while and distro-hopped before deciding to land on Debian. I figured major distros used it as their base for a reason. The older I get the more I appreciate the “it’ll release when its ready” approach that Debian takes. There’s no economic pressure to release with major bugs hoping the next sprint will fix most issues, like a lot of “enterprise” software. The Debian release cycle is not 100% predictable, but it is reliable. I’ve had a server go through a few major upgrades for nearly a decade before the hardware itself gave out. The OS was rock solid the entire time. Additionally, with flatpak, outdated desktop apps are no longer an issue and I use docker for hosting services.
I will admit that Debian is pretty “bland” from a fresh install, but I don’t mind that at all.
Started with RaspiOS and transitioned to vanilla Debian + OMV5 later on.
So far I never had issues whatsoever withy server. If there was an issue usually not due to debian but me learning to work with linux.How are you liking OMV5? Pros/cons?
Didn’t try anything else like TrueNas so take it for what you want.
OMV5/6 are pretty good NAS softwares with an out of the box working interface. Nothing really you don’t want.
Upside: It’s Debian under the hood. So if you want to dip into Linux I think it’s great.My only gripe is, it’s impossible to upgrade between versions. You’d need to wipe the OS and restart (afaik).
