9 days agoI like having truenas in a proxmox vm. through proxmox you can easily do backups of your vms and in my head it containerizes things. I’ve had so many problems trying to use truenas as anything but a pure nas so having it as a vm in proxmox gives me the flexibility to run other vms and containers on my machine, and proxmox can easily be set up to connect to a nas and keep vm and container data on it.
I’ve used both nobara and cachyos, and I’ve stuck with nobara. it’s a lot more of a “just works” distro for gaming and creative stuff (vr “just worked”, so did connecting an xbox controller wirelessly, and using my drawing tablet) and its more set up out of the box than cachy. I enjoy a distro that I can install and get going immediately with no issues, and without having to install a bunch of other packages myself to get it to do what I want it to do. also when I ran cachy last year on both my desktop and my laptop, I got a month in and my repos completely broke, dont know why and couldn’t figure out how to fix it, so that’s something to keep in mind.
