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!

      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.
