It’s proprietary, after all. I understand paid is fine, but even then, it usually better be open source.

So, why is Unraid an exception ?

Thanks

    Decent UI. Affordable lifetime pricing. Actually just-works. No retrospective enshittification. Free trial is actually free, not ad supported.

    You get what you pay for, and you’re not the product.

        But they haven’t so far, and the question was why it’s popular at this moment.

        Possible future enshittification disqualifies all software, unless you prevent it from going online - which you can also do with Unraid.

          No enshittification is a proprietary software disease. FOSS can be rug pulled and future development can become proprietary, or enshitifued features added (Ubuntu as an example both with Snap and selling search data) but it is MUCH MUCH harder then starting proprietary.

          It being self hosted is one of the few real protections it has.
