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.

Why not just run TrueNAS Scale? It's a NAS built on top of Debian?
Minimum RAM for TrueNAS is 8gb. I really should get more RAM though.
Your storage is so small it'll be fine
You technically can run on 4, but you won’t have much in the way of ZFS cache and forget about containers like nextcloud/syncthing. You’ll get NFS/SMB and rsync and that’s it.
My syncthing container consumes about 100 MB of RAM.
My bare TrueNAS consumes about 3.8 GiB of ram without any containers running and not counting cache.
Oh jeez, that's terrible. What is using the RAM? I'm also consuming 3.7 GB (without buffers) but I have 21 containers running (Debian stable):
It is? Damn. I’m very much a newbie to TrueNAS. I thought it was high but had no basis of comparison. It’s a pretty fresh install. I installed jellyfin but shut it down, pending a memory upgrade to actually start using it.
