It’s proprietary, after all. I understand paid is fine, but even then, it usually better be open source.

So, why is Unraid an exception ?

Thanks

    Unraid is easy to start with when you have no idea what you’re doing. Other stuff often requires more up front work to setup.

    The paid licence is just the cost of the conveniences.

      Is it much easier than TrueNAS?

      I went with TrueNAS because it’s open-source, and it’s been smooth sailing.

      (I just use it as a NAS, nothing more)

        Couldn’t say, for me it was way way easier than ESXI which was my first break into the space. And also more complete / straightforward than bare metal which was what I had been doing before unraid.

        I paid for the lifetime license. No regrets.
