Slow is Fast: Dec 25, 2006

So I've been wanting to replace google photos since they're complaining about my storage usage. I have a nas I should be able to use for storage that I can put as many drat photos as I want on it.

For a server head I have an intel atom z8350 1.44ghz with 4 gigs of ram. It already has windows 10 on it and it shits itself over RDP, doing anything, and trying to install docker.

Should I fart linux that can run docker at it or should I just buy something with more nut. I want to set it and forget it kind of thing and while a sysology nas with the photo thingy would work I want something with features that more closely align with google photos.
