Simple Answer: No

The moment you need to think about what distribution you need to choose from is where it’ll stop any (dumb)user. Most people want a simple process with very little thinking.

If you are interested in learning linux and willing to take the time to understand the entire process that comes with it then yes.

I was in a similar boat. Initially, I ran debian with docker but later on decided to check out unraid. It’s pretty easy to get setup, and you have a lot of docker containers pre-configured, so you can just click and install. I have it notify me whenever something goes on with it, but outside of that, I don’t tinker much with it.

Only two weird things about it though…

1. You dont install unraid. Instead, you run it through a usb. More specifically, the usb has a specific config that’ll then load everything to your memory.

2. Recently, they redid their pay structure so not too familiar with the changes but you do have to pay for unraid.
