  1. It is a For-profit without any means of Generating income (unlike Truenas or Suse which have a paid enterprise version)
  2. Since there is no way of making money, it is apparent they will pull a Plex and Enshittify once they have the noobs on board
  3. At least it uses docker, so you can export the images, but who knows when this will change
  4. It uses discord as forum. They cant even get themselves to use their own OS to install a matrix server on there.
  5. They are not even Private. Their FAQ literally says „They will try to limit data collection“

You want to use some shitty OS by some shitty company? Go sign your soul to Windows Server you lobotomite

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Beginners will always gravitate to what is easier.

The upstream tools (Docker in this case) must orient themselves more towards the newbies, not only the pros, if we want to see the progress here.

Personally, as a non-IT guy, I find myself fighting uphill battles every time I want to do something seemingly simple, because the basic tools we're offered are not made with common folk in mind. And I'm sort of an enthusiast - most people just won't bother if it's not plug&play, they don't have time and energy to figure everything out.

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.
