I'm going to tear down and rebuild a little server I have at home. It has three disks (one for the system, and two big SATA ssds currently using btrfs, serving up NFS, smb, and running SyncThing, Prosody, Immich and HomeAssistant. It's currently on Fedora, but systemd annoyed me one too many times. And I don't want to talk about btrfs.

Now I'm hesitating about what to install on it. Go with the old familiar NetBSD? Try out FreeBSD again and get a fancier zfs? Or should I go crazy and go for illumos, though I haven't run Solaris since it was called OpenSolaris, so this maybe I should try a desktop first.

Any thoughts ?
