I've been using it for the last couple of months as my home NAS on generic PC hardware - it's really very good IMHO. The only thing to note is that with 22.12.1, "host path validation" has been fully locked down for security / file integrity purposes - i.e. it is not possible to directly pass a host path through to docker containers and at the same time share it via SMB on the host.
The two options are:
1) Share the host paths as NFS and mount them as NFS in the containers (the standard Truecharts apps makes this easy as a GUI option).
2) Uncheck the (global) host path validation box (not recommended or supported). There are plans to make this option available on a per-container/app basis in a future release, however.
So many firsts for me (happy school memories):
Customising all the GUI widgets and icons
Full-window dragging (not outline)
Lemmings (the first port I had access to).
Zarch
The amazing ARTWorks
Cascade
Hand-held document scanners
Pineapple video digitiser (had a VHS and camera attached, I was blown away)
First experience of centralised file servers and printing (Integrex?) - via econet
The collection of samples from various films of Arnie swearing that was going around at the time
Instant creation of a ramdisk by dragging a slider
Anti-aliased fonts
Applications self-contained in a single !Directory with their own icon
Modes 31 (oohh high res icons) and 40 (oohh lots of colours)
Saving something by dragging an icon to a filer window
That demo where you could move a 3D teapot(?) around in real time
The list goes on and on!
I'm only an occasional printer. My solution was to buy an office-spec colour laser at a decent price from an office-supply company, knowing full well that toner doesn't dry out and the starter cartridges would probably last me 10 years.
I did have to block the supply company phone number though as they kept ringing me asking how often I would be buying new cartridges...
This. I print infrequently and got fed up with inkjets drying up so I shelled out for a Xerox colour laser with 2k colour & 3k black page toner starter cartridges which will last me many years. Might have annoyed the office supply company I got it from though as they expected to supply toner a bit more frequently than that ;)
