So this is my first attempt at a home server and it’s basically an SSD boot drive and a 1 TB (I know it’s small) HDD crammed into a gaming pc case and powered by a Ryzen 3 2200g… Hardly high tech, however… I’ve been told Linux is best so I foolishly tried installing Linux on a different SSD earlier… It didn’t go well as I accidentally installed it to the 1TB HDD and wiped out 700GB of data 🤦‍♂️.

I persevered and tried getting homarr installed which wasbas successful as Jimmy Savilles child minding service so I gave up and stuck my windows SSD back in…

So wonderful people of Reddit, should I just stick with windows, is it worth another shot at Linux? Should I use Ubuntu server, or standard Ubuntu? I’d love to get your input to the pros and cons, although right now I’m seeing nothing but cons for Linux 😅

    First; what are you planning to do with it?
    Second; how time critical is getting it functioning to you?
    Third; I don’t like Ubuntu anything, there are so many other options to pick from that are better, in my opinion. But without knowing what your intentions are, I’ll refrain from recommending any.

      What makes them better over Ubuntu? How do they achieve this?
