Hi all.
Wondering what software to use when building a nas drive from my old gaming PC? I’m new to NAS, but competent with most PC and network stuff. My ultimate aim is to have all my music, movies and shows stored, so my wife and I can watch them from anywhere in the house. I’ve accumulated a lot over the years.
then you’ll do well with Ubuntu with ZFS.
Crap like TrueNAS and the like will only limit you and cause headaches
How will truenas limit me?
I’ve tried Ubuntu before, mint and debian. I prefer their security and interface. I don’t want the hassle of Windows being on that machine with constant updates and all that useless crap that comes with it.

Thanks. Learning quite a lot since I had the idea to do it with my old machine.
