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!

      On your homelab set up. I know that could mean a lot of things but whatever you want it to mean is cool. Maybe it doesn’t apply to what I want to do but that’s okay!

      I want to find out what’s possible and what options are out there!

        I ask because a ‘homelab’ isn’t usually just one machine. I have Debian on literally every computer, container and VM I have tho
