I’ve used OpenMediaVault for years and liked it, but I’m just exploring some other options. I’ve got a new system with a Ryzen 370 and 890m iGPU, which Debian is fighting me on getting working. Meanwhile it looks like AMD is treating Ubuntu as a first class citizen for support. Just considering options, maybe Ubuntu plus Cockpit to abstract all the admin stuff?
What?! Theres a huge difference. Ubuntu is hot garbage for server work. How? Wait until you hit a permissions issue with your share and you find that snap did some bullshit, because you have mixed apt and snap packages. The notorious hardcoded snap store backend? Not a fan.
Yeah one might say debian is old packages, but first of all its a nas system, not an internet facing machine or even a main server thst needs a ton of services.
Even then third party software is pretty recent even on debian.
Ubuntu is the wrong choice for any server. Any.
I mean not much difference in hardware support.
In general, I agree. But I don’t want do participate in holy wars.
Same here, sick of holy wars.
That being said, it seems the hardware difference is there, amd 370 is undercooked on debian, unless you use either sid or custom kernels.
