- It is a For-profit without any means of Generating income (unlike Truenas or Suse which have a paid enterprise version)
- Since there is no way of making money, it is apparent they will pull a Plex and Enshittify once they have the noobs on board
- At least it uses docker, so you can export the images, but who knows when this will change
- It uses discord as forum. They cant even get themselves to use their own OS to install a matrix server on there.
- They are not even Private. Their FAQ literally says „They will try to limit data collection“
You want to use some shitty OS by some shitty company? Go sign your soul to Windows Server you lobotomite
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
It also isn’t an operating system. It’s an application that you install on an existing OS.
Could the company decide to lock it to only their hardware? Probably. Could they take money in exchange for preferred listings? Yup.
And if it gets shitty, like OP said, it is just a layer on top of Docker. You can leave it.
CasaOS was key in easing me into the world of Docker. I understand general use enough to be comfortable installing without Casa and jumping into compose files and such. But I’ll still check out the store for apps sometimes just for ease of use.
Whole post is just a rant against something that OP apparently doesn’t know anything about.
