I am mildly concerned they are losing out on their best window to have beta testers by not keeping people more involved. When I first installed HexOS I was checking the forums every single day, waiting to see what's next and what I could test next. I decided to go 'All-In' because I wanted to properly beta test this product and I run HexOS as my primary NAS now, but it's gotten to the point where I never even go to the HexOS Dashboard anymore, everything is done through the TrueNAS UI. If I disconnected it from the Deck, I would not notice a difference in my experience. Without engagement from the team (I understand they are very busy, and they launched at the worst time you could possibly launch a product, leading into the holiday period where most places shutdown for a while, hiring freezes, etc), I am losing my motivation to "care" at the moment, which is sad.
However, I could definitely see a new road map announcement making me excited again! It's just hard to see at the moment. I have been holding off migrating my Home Assistant to a VM until they release their VM manager, and I am holding off migrating Plex to HexOS until they "officially" support hardware transcoding, so when some of these things happens I will get excited again, I am sure.
I'd like to see a future feature of creating a bonded interface within the deck, and then if interfaces are in a bond you have the option to hide them from the dash so you just see the bond. I would also like the ability to hide other NICs, too. I have a BMC NIC that is showing up, which really doesn't need to be on my dashboard. Thanks!
