I bought an Umbrel home after trying to install on a Lenovo NUC with 32GB RAM and a 2TB SSD, but Umbrel didn't like it, so I downgraded to an Umbrel home, which only has 16GB RAM and will struggle to do what I need it to.

I ended up installing  @Start9 on the Lenovo, which has been fine, but no VPN. Also, Start9 is not as good user experience. I'm not sure of its claims of being an OS and therefore more stable, we shall see.
