Here’s a Video made by dev.
Looks like YunoHost, but hearing about the licensing issues, I’ll stick with YunoHost.
Long life to Yunohost!
what does yuno use in the background to manage services? is it container based?
It uses systemd services. My understanding is that it aims to have the applications installed in the most straightforward way possible - avoiding containers where possible.

Their “app store” is small, outdated (from an app update perspective), and filled with cryptocurrency junk.
The operative term being those last two words:
cryptocurrency junk
I saw this OS mentioned earlier and gave their website a gander. It was immediately apparent how important crypto was to their marketing, and that saved me a lot of time looking any further.
While I personally don’t oppose licenses that forbid commercial usage, this is not open source.
Worthy actual open-source alternatives :
- YunoHost https://yunohost.org/ GPL3
- FreedomBox https://freedombox.org/ DFSG (Debian Project)
- Sandstorm https://sandstorm.org/ Apache V2
- CasaOS https://www.casaos.io/ Apache V2
- startOS https://start9.com/ MIT
- homelabOS https://homelabos.com/ MIT
However, I still use UmbrelOS as compared to all of those, It’s the only one which seems to work well with my RPI4 and the connected drive with it, despite my modest Linux knowledge (Fedora and Arch on mobile user), and Umbrel being unsecure and retaining app versions compared to upstream.
