To each their own, but I really don't see the point of these distros. I usually just install Debian or AlmaLinux on my homeservers and build on top of it. I guess extra tooling can be helpful, but I've never felt the need for it.

    I've somewhat recently taken TrueNAS to avoid the headache of DKMS for ZFS support.

    While it is nice to know I basically don't have to worry about that, the rest of it is pretty painful -- I can't even install a package without manually running it in docker.

    We've in a CentOS/Rocky shop at work until recently, moving to Debian.

    If I has to redo my NAS, is take Debian or something and call it a day. The hassle of TrueNAS and similar distros do not really seem worth it, if you want more control.
