A beautiful home server OS for self-hosting with an app store. Buy a pre-built Umbrel Home with umbrelOS, or install on a Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 5, any Ubuntu/Debian system, or a VPS. - getumbrel/umbrel
However, I still use UmbrelOS as compared to all of those, It’s the only one which seems to work well with my RPI4 and the connected drive with it, despite my modest Linux knowledge (Fedora and Arch on mobile user), and Umbrel being unsecure and retaining app versions compared to upstream.
Dietpi is a nice option too. Super minimal initial installation and has its own repo of pre-configured software (based on debian) for easy installation of a whole host of applications for selfhosting:
Forgot about it. Ain’t that “GUI friendly” but still very easy and simple process through the command line. I don’t remember how it went for me, but i don’t recall having too many issues with it. I’ll reconsider it.
Worthy actual open-source alternatives :

Thanks, Maybe I will try CasaOS.

Yep it’s command-line heavy but the utilities are all written with Whiptail which gives them some nice GUI for keyboard navigation.
