I have been wanting to self-host recently I have an old laptop it’s a Toshiba satellite m100-221 sitting around it only has 4gb of ram, but I don’t know what is a good starting point for an OS for my home lab I discovered yunohost but heard mixed opinions about it when searching I would like lemmy’s opinion on a good OS for a beginner wanting to start a home lab I would prefer a simple solution like yunohost but would like it to be configurable it’s fine if it needs a bit of tinkering.

    Agreed.

    I’ve been using Linux for years.

    I’ve done minor coding.

    I’ve even installed Adguard and a VPN on a router.

    Built my own water cooled PC.

    I still don’t quite understand what Docker is or does, or containerized stuff. I’ve avoided most networking stuff since XP, and it’s basically a completely other field of tech as far as I’m concerned, like Math is to Physics.
