Hello, people

Has anyone tried one of those OSes ? If so, what are your pros and cons about them ?

I am less enthusiastic about CasaOS since someone pointed my attention to the fact that it is based in China. Also, I read comments about it not being customizable enough. But then, it's the common inconvenience with these systems…

Ah, yes. At least CasaOS is open source, and hopefully gets vetted for malicious code by independent developers and users? That's outside of my capability, unfortunately, but I put my trust in those savvier than me.

I will say I've been interested in the project because it's based around Docker which I haven't been able to wrap my head around otherwise. I'm hoping a start with a GUI will help me until I'm ready to lose the training wheels 🙂

Aaaah, Docker. With or without CasaOS to concur, sooner or later, you get to deal with Docker.
