Quick question: I am somewhat of a tech/PC/bla person, building my own custom water-cooled PCs or programming complex stuff. I have an old PC that has a RAID5 in it with is own controller, which is fine. But after post and raid controller the original windows fails to boot. All the OS needs to do is local data access (USB drive to sync backup and Ethernet) and a remote connection. Used TeamViewer for years, then switched to Anydesk after they declared my 2x per year usage to be non-personal.
It is unknown if some hardware is the problem or not, but before I get there I want to prepare a stick to install Linux. So what I need is a good suggestion for a system/distribution that is fast/easy to install/use, so nothing I need to baby and that does not break if it does not get booted (and thus updated) for a year.
