So this is my first attempt at a home server and it’s basically an SSD boot drive and a 1 TB (I know it’s small) HDD crammed into a gaming pc case and powered by a Ryzen 3 2200g… Hardly high tech, however… I’ve been told Linux is best so I foolishly tried installing Linux on a different SSD earlier… It didn’t go well as I accidentally installed it to the 1TB HDD and wiped out 700GB of data 🤦‍♂️.

I persevered and tried getting homarr installed which wasbas successful as Jimmy Savilles child minding service so I gave up and stuck my windows SSD back in…

So wonderful people of Reddit, should I just stick with windows, is it worth another shot at Linux? Should I use Ubuntu server, or standard Ubuntu? I’d love to get your input to the pros and cons, although right now I’m seeing nothing but cons for Linux 😅

    Lots of people championing Linux here and probably just as many saying it isn’t worth it so I am still torn 🤣. I think I’m going to spend the next day recovering the lost media and then probably going to give Linux 1 final.shit before totally throwing in the towel… Let’s see how it goes 😅
