Unless it’s just a hardware driver issue?

    I used Ubuntu for a while and distro-hopped before deciding to land on Debian. I figured major distros used it as their base for a reason. The older I get the more I appreciate the “it’ll release when its ready” approach that Debian takes. There’s no economic pressure to release with major bugs hoping the next sprint will fix most issues, like a lot of “enterprise” software. The Debian release cycle is not 100% predictable, but it is reliable. I’ve had a server go through a few major upgrades for nearly a decade before the hardware itself gave out. The OS was rock solid the entire time. Additionally, with flatpak, outdated desktop apps are no longer an issue and I use docker for hosting services.

    I will admit that Debian is pretty “bland” from a fresh install, but I don’t mind that at all.

      Started with RaspiOS and transitioned to vanilla Debian + OMV5 later on.
      So far I never had issues whatsoever withy server. If there was an issue usually not due to debian but me learning to work with linux.

          Didn’t try anything else like TrueNas so take it for what you want.

          OMV5/6 are pretty good NAS softwares with an out of the box working interface. Nothing really you don’t want.
          Upside: It’s Debian under the hood. So if you want to dip into Linux I think it’s great.

          My only gripe is, it’s impossible to upgrade between versions. You’d need to wipe the OS and restart (afaik).
