While I personally don't oppose licenses that forbid commercial usage, this is not open source.
Worthy actual open-source alternatives :
However, I still use UmbrelOS as compared to all of those, It's the only one which seems to work well with my RPI4 and the connected drive with it, despite my modest Linux knowledge (Fedora and Arch on mobile user), and Umbrel being unsecure and retaining app versions compared to upstream.
Thanks, Maybe I will try CasaOS.
Dietpi is a nice option too. Super minimal initial installation and has its own repo of pre-configured software (based on debian) for easy installation of a whole host of applications for selfhosting:

Forgot about it. Ain't that "GUI friendly" but still very easy and simple process through the command line. I don't remember how it went for me, but i don't recall having too many issues with it. I'll reconsider it.
Yep it's command-line heavy but the utilities are all written with Whiptail which gives them some nice GUI for keyboard navigation.
On top of that, if I'm going to recommend something like this to my less techie friends/family as an alternative to big-tech products, I'm not going to pick something that can't be forked and can be purchased by some bigger company and shut down or squeezed for profit the moment it gets popular.
