Roon Linux install vs ROCK

It is a closed OS without any access (via SSH or command line) necessary to install third-party programs.
It is not possible to control the operation of the system using utilities (for example, htop, sensors, cpu, etc.)
It is not possible to connect more than one internal drive (HDD / SSD) for the library.
There is no possibility to use a disk with already recorded audio files for the library on the internal drive (only an empty disk can be used).

I first used ROCK for Roon Server on my NUC (see my profile), which I refused due to the above reasons and extreme slowness when working with Qobuz and Tidal, then with the success of Ubuntu Server and now switched to DietPi for Native PC

  • this is a great minimalist OS based on the just released Debian 10 with flexible settings for optimizing the OS and CPU performance and the ability to add / remove a large number of third-party programs optimized for the system. For example, it is very easy to install Roon Server, etc.
