What is best to use for LMS, windows, unraid, proxmox or truenas?

Probably not Windows

TrueNAS is BSD based. Not easiest either.

I'd say... piCorePlayer on a Pi :-)

piCorePlayer is definitely the easiest by some way these days

That must be true. With a little help from folk on this forum I got piCorePlayer running in half an hour and then got on with the LMS adjustment, which was easy because I have used it for years.

I abandoned running it on an ageing PC because of Windows hiccups.

I cannot confirm this because I don't have one, but would polyvection CORE32 be the easiest way to run LMS?

Possibly the easiest, but if someone is prepared to consider configuring a NAS then ease and cost might be in the balance. PiCorePlayer on a Raspberry Pi might hit the sweetspot and therefore qualify as the "best" asked for; being not too expensive, easy to manage and very reliable.

Possibly. The downside is you become reliant on them for updates.

While the Polyvection players look decent value, I can't see how the price of the CORE32 server can be justified. Setting up piCorePlayer as a LMS server on a RPi really is child's play, and can be done for less than half the cost of a CORE32.

"Best" is very subjective of course - but I've run LMS and Squeezebox arrays on Windows (currently Win11) with very, very few problems, for many, many years.

Maybe I'm that "lucky customer" but I've had very, very few general Windows hiccups at all, in any regard, over 20+ years.

BTW, we are a Win / Mac / Linux household, so I have cross-platform experience! And I stand by Windows as, overall, as good as any. Horses for courses, of course.
