I fucking LOVE my Unraid server, but I’ve had it for many years and they’ve since changed their pricing. A very, very solid WebUI.

I paid like $40 just once for it, and it looks like it’s $90 now. Honestly I’d still pay that, it has been immensely helpful to get me started as my first homelab.

And btw I use Arch for my desktop whenever I use Linux.

I helped a friend build a server to use Unraid for his new house, and to get him started with Home Assistant and the arr stack. He’s always been fairly good with computers, but had 0 Linux experience. After about 6 months he became self efficient and no longer needed to ask for help.
