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.
YunoHost runs on Debian and basically just automates installs via scripts. Its easy to handle and still leaves open to ssh into the machine and learn/understand everything if you want to. Having to real knowledge about tech, networks, Linux etc will lead to nothing when sitting in front of an empty Debian box
