I’ve been pretty happy with taking a Terramsater F4-425 Plus and putting Linux on it.
I feel like the mini ITX market for motherboards is just too niche. If you want something small, buy an off the shelf NAS. If size is not an issue, buy a case that can hold a full sized motherboard and lots of disks.
- mkinsella 11mo agoI just purchased one of these on BF sale. How hard is it to install Truenas?
- QuiEgo 11mo agoI put straight Debian on it, but it was pretty easy. Go to the bios, turn off secure boot, change default boot device, prosper. It's just an x86 computer that boots a custom Linux distro (TOS), no reason any other Linux distro can't work. They don't lock the boot loader like say... Synology. You need a newish Linux kernel (6.12 maybe? Don't remember exactly) for proper support of the N150 iGPU and the Realtek NICs it uses.
