TL;DR: have a server and want an OS for it. Currently using CasaOS. Any and all recommendations GREATLY appreciated.

I have a homeserver that I have 36TB of storage for and I want a nice simple OS to use.

I'm currently using CasaOS but I keep hearing bad things about it such as very poor security.

I'm thinking of moving over to Cosmos OS which is similar but lacks a file manager.

I really just want to be able to use Jellyfin/cloudflare/other fun apps. I also don't know annnything about linux so I love these web GUIs.

Im open to some kind of linux desktop but preferrably something with very minimal experience needed.

Thanks!

Using those OSes to config container for selfhosting is easy to setup but hard to troubleshoot. U still need to learn more about Linux, Security, Networking for the long run.
