We shouldn't speak ill of the dead. But..., distrotest.net wasn't perfect either, as can be seen here. Source: about 1 year ago
Yep, so definitely some learning curve as far as drivers and compatibility issues with graphics cards etc. Ubuntu has a really nice support community that has a lot of support documentation about dual boot etc. I can send some links if you'd like. I was considering doing a dual boot as well but have never pulled the trigger, even though I freed up the space on my storage drive. I did a lot of reading about it... Source: over 1 year ago
You can try any distribution online for free without installation using distrotest.net. My advice is to look for a distribution that offers the KDE desktop environment. There are others and they're great too, but KDE in particular is the closest to Windows (Windows 11 even took some of their features) and has a lot of features, including a full set of great general purpose desktop apps.

Definitely follow links in the sidebar. That's why they're there. :) The distro is in some ways less important than the desktop. Mint Cinnamon and Plasma will be fairly Windblows-like. My biases are not germane, however I started on Mint and went hopping till I settled on ArcoLinux. I'd recommend either trying out distros in a VM after switching, or just go with distrotest.net. It can be overwhelming at first.... Source: over 1 year ago
Distrotest.net was a very good tool to try hundreds of distros/flavours and now it's gone. Any other web site, app or solution for achieving similar first-hand text experience ? Source: over 1 year ago
BSDs may not have a significant presence on desktops, but they're well known in the networking world for their reliability. They also were the foundation used to build OSes for specific applications. OpnSense and XigmaNAS, for example, are two excellent FreeBSD based applications aimed at firewalling/security and NAS/services. https://opnsense.org/ https://xigmanas.com/xnaswp/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
A standalone NAS running ZFS as the filesystem. So XigmaNAS, TrueNAS, etc. Works beautifully. Source: about 1 year ago
XsigmaNAS - the father of freenas/truenas, much lighter on resources but development kinda stuck in just updating OS and packages and to be able to communicate with community, one have to register on closed forum. Source: over 1 year ago
XigmaNAS. Other machine is Xen. Most likely will move to Proxmox. Source: over 1 year ago
A NAS does not necessarily need to run 24/7. The better option IMHO would be a selfbuilt NAS with ZFS on 3x mirror https://xigmanas.com/xnaswp/ | https://www.truenas.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
