I’m looking into advanced distros (like arch) and slackware is fascinating. Is it still supported/used? If you’d like to comment an alternative distro, please do.

    If you can manage a Linux server, you likely have no use for Unraid. If you want to put together a Synology type appliance out of PC hardware to run Docker containers and uses ZFS for backups, Unraid is a fairly user friendly option.

      I run a server on unraid.

      Honestly, it works as a way to cut your teeth with a type 1 hypervisor.

      Fairly user friendly, and the community seems to offer a lot of support.

      That being said, I mainly use it as a file server and a place to host containerized stuff that doesn’t need to bog down a gaming rig.

      I got the hardware for free, so other than upgading the CPU to 10 cores (used, 50 dollars, not bad) and paying for electricity, it just churns along doing its thing.
