Confirmation from Jon Report back if any issues.

I bought into the hype, not because Linus said HexOS said it was good, but because I wanted an OS that gave me a hands-off approach. I knew I was getting access to a paid beta, not a final product. But 6 months in and one of the biggest sells — easy to install apps — still has no developments. What's worse, this is likely the thing that would most benefit from a beta test. Instead, we've only seen tiny updates that don't really give much confidence that this project will ever see a 1.0 release. The MIA for months approach doesn't help either. In these 6 months, instead of settling in with HexOS and moving away from the "complicated" Unraid, I've moved on towards even more advanced setups, deploying 3 servers (and soon a fourth) that are fully headless, and remote. I went further deep into the rabbit hole, learning more about networking, remote management, and CLI. As I gain more skills, HexOS continues to lose its appeal and, at this point, I feel like I will end up with a HexOS license that I'll have no use for, but that I can't share with anyone. If you sell the idea of a "community" and "early access" and ask people to take a leap of faith before a product is even out there, the least you can do is communicate properly. I'm sure your team is stretched thin and no one is asking you to waste developers' time answering queries. But COMMUNICATION IS A MUST. One thing is certain. If I wasn't sure if getting a 99€ license was the right call, getting a second license at the full price is definitely out of the question and I don't really see myself advocating for anyone to do it. That means that buddy backup — the second feature I was really looking forward to — no longer has any value. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.
