The biggest reason I personally use and would recommend Unraid is it simplifies everything, specifically around docker.
Deploying docker containers? There are community apps where people have set up scripts so all you have to do is fill in the blanks for your set up and bam, your container is deployed and running.
Managing you can add your own items and fill in your own blanks, or change them and it’ll deploy and remove the old container.
I’ve used portainer, compose, and looked into runtipi for docker management, and tried out windows server, Ubuntu, proxmox, truenas for HV/VE/OS, and while they all had bits I liked they all lacked something, and unraid had it all or a way to have it.
The initial reason was ragged arrays for why I chose it ever the others, but now I like its simplicity, and don’t find myself wanting for more control over anything.
Yes, for someone with limited Linux experience, Unraid is a better choice than Proxmox. And, the experience gained through configuring Unraid will be applicable should you want to move to Proxmox later.
Ragged arrays was also why I chose Unraid. They initially didn't have
docker-composesupport, you had to jam it in the boot script! Now, they have that very nice Docker management dashboard that I completely bypass because I prefer the CLI.
