When I update ZIMAOS, all my files and dockers are gone. this doesn't happen with CasaOS

Wtf, never installing this then.

I been using CasaOs about 1 year now, never had any problem whatsoever, is been very solid for me.

[@EfeArda1991]

Currently running CasaOS on Debian very happily, waiting for a stable release of zimaos. The GPU stats that you didnt show is pretty appealing (Maybe TPU and NPU too?). I am glad you posted this video as it shows clearly ZimaOS is still in testing stage, should wait for the official release until bugs are gone.

[@c0p0n]

It's a shame they don't go with ZFS. There's absolutely zero benefit to rawdogging raid these days instead.

[@acubley]

I'm just wondering if it works better than Zima tasted. (Though, not having it for about 2 decades, I wonder if the drink is still around.)

[@Gibbo27]

You can use compose, but the option is a bit hidden. 18:50 - If it's the same as CasaOS, you can click the import button in the top right near the "X" after clicking Add custom App in the App Store.

[@riufq]

Compare it with HexOs

[@SHO1989]

Exactly. Both appear to be looking to make a simpler homelab os. Zimaos had a head start but looks like it's still having growing pains. I have a lot of hope for Hexos. I like that it's Truenas under the hood but that they are simplifying the gui front end. I hope both projects succeed and make home labs easier for guys like me that just want to use it, not become a system admin.

[@BerberexoEU]

Nice! I'm starting to setup my first home server mainly for media streaming, do you recommend me to go with ZimaOS or play it safe and go with CasaOS?

[@PoeLemic]

Play it safe (at first) -- just go with CasaOS and grow from there.

[@TommyGunz_]

Its interesting that ZimaOS is an operating system you actually install vs CasaOS just being a script you run on an existing OS

[@tomduncan3547]

Love Casaos. Using it on a couple of my machines.

[@Psoewish]

It's definitely still very rough, but I tried it the other day in a VM and I liked how it's coming along. Give it a year or so and I think this is going to be a very respectable OS.

[@AstraAnime]

you are introducing me to my future nerd stationd, the interface is so clean... I hope the hypervisor support is very good for hardware virtualization as I would want to run multiple desktop screens with this.

[@onlydubz558]

linus just showed his hexOS. things are starting to get spicy in the homelab space

[@kodemasterx]

This looks amazing but judging by the comments down below, it needs some work, I'll let it mature a bit because using for production.

[@sparklycakee23]

this looks really good. especially with hexos announced recently, this can be a serious competitor if it gets polished further. looks very beginner friendly and very nice gui

[@yourpcmd]

As with anything beta, there are bound to be many bugs. they should have included the ability to add users and simple permissions like storage size, public or private considering they have remote access functionality of which you did not go over in greater detail.

[@cheebadigga4092]

rauc sounds like the OS was created using Yocto, so it's a fully custom one, not based on anything else

[@MishokTheBear]

Didn't know about CasaOS rebranding. Thanks for the heads-up, glad the video got recommended

[@TheTanadu]

Fun fact, "zima" in Polish means "winter". If we consider creator nickname ("IceWhale")... this sounds like fun coincidence.

[@Practical-IT]

I might have to give this a spin. Big fan of CasaOS, especially after adding 3rd party app repositories.

[@johnduty4505]

Zima or зима ❄️ its mean ( cold weather) on Russian language

[@supremerulah420]

14:03 I wonder if the system is unmounting the pool during the file transfer? Which doesn't make sense. Seems like a good use case for not migrating the apps to the pool. 🤔 16:56 Nevermind 😕

[@TheMichael2019]

[@adrianatanasov9886]

If possible, can you do a comparison between zima or casaOS and hexOS? I when i saw the LTT video casa os came to my mind too.

[@danilaros]

ZimaOs and CasaOs are different beasts. ZimaOs is an operating system based in Debian that you have to install and you can only use that. CasaOs you install on Top of Debian or Ubuntu and you can still use your desktop alongside CasaOs.

[@adrianatanasov9886]

@danilaros sorry for the confusion I guess I meant that the idea behind them is the same. A much more user friendly tool to manage a server without actually closing everything off.

[@anix86]

Can we use it for DIY nas like pi/ mini pc like casaOS

[@cheebadigga4092]

thanks for staying true to yourself and not vendor-lock yourself for profit!

[@jasonzsiba6522]

So you don't need to install Debian first anymore? Nice.

[@aijokker]

[@techzone2009]

Why youtuber promotes multiple linux distributions, which are nothing but some UI tweaks here and there. They should promote users to use main steam linux like Arch Debian Fedora instead.

[@Phoenixwizard77]

That's a bit of an over simplification. Some distros have tweaks to the kernel itself which can be complicated for novice or non power users. Distros with those changes already made are easier to recommend. (I use Debian with an old unsupported Nvidia GPU, it's a pain in the ass) When I used Linux Mint when I was a noob, it did all that for me.

[@techzone2009]

@Phoenixwizard77 for end user, I always suggest using arch. It is very easy to install arch these days.

[@TheFrontmanRocker]

Self-made monopoly, my favorite

[@netmaster26]

you want a total newbie to go headfirst into arch, debian, and fedora as their first OS? Why not tell them to use Gentoo then and nothing else if you're sure all those are just ui tweaks?

[@techzone2009]

@netmaster26 I am not against the distributions managed by big companies. Most of the distribution out there is made by a team of 2 or 3 developers, in some cases, maintained by a single developer and after some time the distribution is no longer maintained and left as it is.

Perfect OS for people to lazy to learn.

[@geizigeratze]

Not everyone has the time or the tech skills or both. Having their OS dumbed down is the reason for Microsofts success. If we actually want more Linux adoption, the community needs to drop this condescending attitude towards people that don't have a CS degree and just want an OS that's not a pain in the ass to use.

[@leviharms5069]

I'm pretty sure he says in the video that this will be the OS running on the Zima Cube, most people buying an off the shelf NAS probably aren't looking to learn.
