I was between Start9 and Umbrel but leaned towards Umbrel because of itβs small footprint and HW requirements - and coming from a DietPi it was a breeze getting set up and going but ironically more problematic as far as stability right now.
Thanks for those suggestions! ThinkStation/S9 may be a new pivot as that sounds like a bit more of a stable/reliable rig - the small footprint of the RPi is just so dang appealing.
