  • I keep seeing Pop recommended so hijacking for an issue I ran into switching away from it - I had to completely wipe the drive prior to formatting the drive for whatever Debian based distro I was checking out.

    Long story short, it was due to the bootloader for Pop remaining and interfering with the install process. So a full wipe wouldn’t be necessary most likely, just clearing your boot partition should be enough.

    I run a server on unraid.

    Honestly, it works as a way to cut your teeth with a type 1 hypervisor.

    Fairly user friendly, and the community seems to offer a lot of support.

    That being said, I mainly use it as a file server and a place to host containerized stuff that doesn’t need to bog down a gaming rig.

    I got the hardware for free, so other than upgading the CPU to 10 cores (used, 50 dollars, not bad) and paying for electricity, it just churns along doing its thing.
