yeah see here’s the thing: I don’t know what samba is and I’ve never “written” a webpage in my life, simple or no. A lot of people tell me “just use CLI, it’s better!” But “better” usually ends up meaning “you have more control over all these little options that you never use!” I just don’t get it. I watched TechnoDadLife do a side-by-side of OMV and CasaOS, and he was done with CasaOS setup in less than 2 minutes… OMV took a ton of customization, settings, plugin & terminal downloads, configs… nightmare. He says “if youre just managing media, use CasaOS or similar.” and I have yet to see a better argument for CLI/pure headless. It seems a bit elitist hacker gatekeepy to me. Everyone always says “whatever works for you, but that thing that works for you is worse.” for no real discernible benefit that I can understand.
