Umbrel you can go to the marketplace and pick which one you want to install.

Yes, start9 changed the one the recommended and are “forcing” everyone to knots. You can still install core. It’s just a few more clicks. And it’s not part of their primary package

Would defaulting to none and give users a choice before installing anything be optimal? Yes. At least the choice exists. Maybe of these don't have a choice and default to one and only one "option".

Yeah. Defaulting is shady IMO

they have clearly taken sides and it bothers me a little. Especially because they say we are just a home server.

i don't mind choosing a side as long as options exist. i view this as an advanced option. most people won't understand the difference anyways, but for those that do, giving them a choice is great.

all of that said, i think we're still very early in the debate and eventually users that do use these platforms will become vocal and demand these changes.
