I'll try that, but I'm pretty sure I've done that already. I might be wrong though, thanks! (maybe I did the command wrong)

I tried installing an ISO and it black screened. weird.

Okay, so CasaOS is easier to set up (but uses more resources and I won't learn sysadmin stuff) whereas using something like Debian is a bit harder to set up (but uses less resources and learn more!).

Think I might try CasaOS on my 11th gen laptop and plain Debian on my 6th gen laptop and see which I prefer

OHHH that's why I couldn't find out how to install it. Got it.

Ah got it. I've installed debian since yunohost had issues installing for whatever reason. Weird.

Writing down different commands on a note seems like a good idea. Thanks!

What kind of issues?

TrueNAS scale seems like the perfect option, the only downside is that my old laptops don't meet the hardware requirements

Cosmos does look quite good. TrueNAS can't run on my old laptops so HexOS was never really an option

I ended up installing Debian since Yunohost can't install and my old laptop doesn't meet the hardware requirements of TrueNAS Scale

thanks for sharing your experience :D

ah okay, gotcha. So no CasaOS then. Lots of others suggest YUNOHost, is that fine?

Woah, there's a lot. Nice that there's plenty of options!

thanks! Maybe I could check out cockpit and portainer too...

Thanks, that was really helpful :D

I'll try CasaOS then, and later maybe I could move to Debian once I get better at the command line!

like, it's an entire OPERATING SYSTEM! ofc the people who help make excellent open-source software that can handily compete with the big companies are awesome too!

I’ve installed Ubuntu on both of my old laptops but they are so old that I can’t effectively daily drive them (they are heavy, thick, terrible screen, battery is dead, etc)

I’m thinking of switching to Linux for my newer laptop, but I want to wait until the holidays. Hopefully the bugs around touchscreens will be fixed soon!

Fedora. I thunk my device might not be supported, or maybe there’s some software I need to install to make it work. Not a huge deal though.

vibes man

I think it might not be supported. My device is an Asus Zenbook 14 Flip so might not be supported compared to something like a lenovo yoga or the tuxedo flip.
