From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?

I just use Debian... I won't touch Ubuntu as a server anymore (or a desktop either, but really that stems from the server side for me).

Vanilla Debian or proxmox is functionally all I'll use at this point, including with 3 AMD machines (two 1700x, one 5700x). Though none with an and igpu, mostly older dgpu's.

Edit: The point being, maybe figure out what the problem is here rather than going Ubuntu, which has been a huge security problem in the past (snap + docker especially).
