I’ve used OpenMediaVault for years and liked it, but I’m just exploring some other options. I’ve got a new system with a Ryzen 370 and 890m iGPU, which Debian is fighting me on getting working. Meanwhile it looks like AMD is treating Ubuntu as a first class citizen for support. Just considering options, maybe Ubuntu plus Cockpit to abstract all the admin stuff?


I would avoid Ubuntu myself, but as others have said it’s not going to be any different from using Debian for the same job. Just install the
sambapackage, add a user, configure your shares, and you’re good to go.
