From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I haven't found any good information on which distro to use for the NAS I am building. Sure, there are a few out there. But as far as I can tell, none are immutable and that seems to be the new thing for long term durability.

It has a server variant!

I find it easier to use than CoreOS as I never dealt with learning how to use this ignite thing. And also they are hardened, which is important especially for servers.

It works great, after dealing with lots of the opinionated stuff, adding a userns variant, making Flatpaks work, disabling CUPS instead of removing it etc it is now very usable on the Desktop.

Server should just be as good. Use Podman for containers, installing Docker will weaken the security I guess.
