Comment on ICYMI, Unraid now supports internal boot and TPM licensing

As a former unraid user and a certified unraid hater—Finally a problem solved by computers since their inception has been solved by unraid… cannot imagine why one uses unraid outside of having a mixed set of drives and only one device.
I mean, it’s all personal preference in this community. Other than this flash drive issue, Unraid has been rock solid for me otherwise.
I originally started using it more than a decade ago to be able to mix drives.
I also do have multiple Unraid servers as well.

Why would you pay for something, now annually, that is essentially a bad Linux webgui , which can be easily achieved for free with any Linux distro? Outside of mixed drives…
I don’t pay annually. I’m locked in with permanent licensing because I’ve used it for over a decade. Unless that changes, and something else can do the mixed drives as well as Unraid, I don’t see that changing for me any time soon.
For my servers that aren’t mixed JBOD, I use Fedora/CoreOS with Quadlets, so believe me when I say that I know that outside of that specific use case, there are better options.

I think we have different definitions of “easily”.

Run fedora server, download docker, download Portainer, run images same as unraid, profit.
