Writing down different commands on a note seems like a good idea. Thanks!

Cosmos does look quite good. TrueNAS can’t run on my old laptops so HexOS was never really an option

I ended up installing Debian since Yunohost can’t install and my old laptop doesn’t meet the hardware requirements of TrueNAS Scale

thanks for sharing your experience :D

ah okay, gotcha. So no CasaOS then. Lots of others suggest YUNOHost, is that fine?

yep, I fixed the typo! I’ve always thought it was spelt Mastadon. weird. I never used Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat/whatever even before I knew about the fediverse. I basically only use Mastodon to keep up to date with tech news through following accounts like android authority. Pixelfed I use just to share photos I’ve captured. Lemmy I use as what it is: a reddit alternative. Never used frendica before, but probably won’t try it since I personally have no use for it.
