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.

[@jj-icejoe6642]

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

[@danilaros]

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

[@frustratedalien666]

Here's the deal - I run TrueNAS on my ZimaCube but I like ZimaOS. I have CasaOS running on an n100 minipc and I am totally happy with it. It is my main Jellyfin server and it has been up and stable for ages now. Since then I've built out a Proxmox cluster for VMs, Kubernetes, etc. The ZimaCube is part of the Proxmox cluster and I pass the hard drives directly to the TrueNAS VM, but you know what, that n100 running CasaOS would have been more than enough for nearly all of my needs lol

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@johnh3642]

10:38 depends on how you're viewing it. The button icon shows what you're already looking at, instead of what happens when it's pressed.

[@failerde]

You might have found this out already but for accessing data on mounted SMB Shares (at least in CasaOS) it works via the /mnt directory and all smb shares are mounted there with the ip address as directory names e.g. /mnt/10.0.0.83/bla/blub

[@jarosawkepowicz57]

I used zimaos for some time. Unfortunately, although the system looks more or less complete, it is not. I constantly had smaller or larger problems with it, which I never experienced during the year of using Debian + CasaOS. The problem turned out to be smb + Tailscale shares, which broke the connection every time, which was necessary for me to use NAS outside the home. Another problem was the very poor performance of the built-in VM, which I also needed to use. What made me go back to Debian + CasaOS was the fact that after one of the updates, the way the system handled disks was completely broken, they disappeared from the view in the settings and files and fortunately they were still connected, otherwise I would have lost a lot of data. This was fixed in the next updates but it took some DMing with the developers on their discord. And it's quite a closed system, so you can't do many things on Linux

[@TheMichael2019]

im on 1.2.5 and the icons dont disappear. seems there are a few bugs still that need to be worked out

[@MishokTheBear]

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

[@tomduncan3547]

[@TheTanadu]

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

[@cqwickedwake7651]

Funnier fact, it is the same meaning in almost every if not every slavic langauge including mine which is croatian ;)

[@TommyGunz_]

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

[@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.

[@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 😕

[@All_Dead_In_Shimoda]

It's got potential ... I'll spin it up Proxmox and have a tinker. Great vid 👍

[@cheebadigga4092]

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

[@ahmedal-maamari3305]

Still missing few things like zfs support, automatic snapshots, automatic backup. I am sure with time more features will be added. Seems very promising. For time being I am stick to truenas scale but i guess zima os will be very good after one year of further development .

[@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.

[@jocerv43]

Wouldn’t bother tbh, hexos isn’t free. Considering it’s just a gui on top of truenas, I’m less than excited.

[@user-ic6xf]

trueNAS > ZimaOS > HexOS

[@Practical-IT]

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

[@anix86]

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

[@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.

[@worldquestioneer1533]

How does ZimaOS compare to OpenMediaVault, unRAID, or TrueNAS? OpenMediaVault in particular. An OEM NAS OS would be great! Make a NAS OS for OEM partners to preinstall!

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.

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.
