Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 year agoTruenas isn’t a standard system. Its designed to be used as a NAS and lacks the ability to easy install other software. While it does have support for kubernetes and virtual machines, the UI is pretty crude and you will likely get confused and run into bugs. Don’t get me wrong I do like TrueNAS but for your setup it doesn’t make a lot of sense. This is especially true since you want to run a bunch of services that aren’t necessarily storage dependent.

Thank you. I downloaded Ubuntu. It’s a tough pill to swallow after seeing so many negative things about the workstation version but it does have a reputation for being beginner friendly and I guess I can always move to something else later.

That’s true I suppose. Honestly I am just kind of sick and tired of the silliness Ubuntu has. Its fine on servers but for desktop use there are better alternatives that I choose.
If you don’t notice an issue that’s good but if you run into any snap related issues keep in mind there are alternatives. Don’t blame all of Linux for a Ubuntu issue. (That’s the big fear that leads me to be so anti-ubuntu)
