1. The one thing I like most about Unraid is the UI, as a beginner with Unraid it was extremely easy for me to get started and now that I have used it for a few months I really enjoy how simple it is to do most things such as build VM's and Docker containers. The most useful thing I have found so far is the community though, they help out a ton.

 

2. One thing I would like to see added to the OS in 2020 is the ability to set up Snapshots so if say a picture was accidentally deleted on a share It would be easily recoverable, also snapshots for VM's and Docker containers, but it would also be nice to have native ZFS

I like the home-user-friendly array approach.
It's definitely way more effective to repurpose old hdds, which vary often in size.
AND
I really like the community supporting this project.

I think some kind of notification service would be nice. (via email, Signal, Telegram, etc.)
To receive a message from the server itself is way more convenient than regularly checking the servers website.

Last time I checked there is Settings - Notification Settings for that...

Been using Unraid for a long time and what I like most is it's versatility.  When I first started, it was basically just used for storage.  But now you can use it for so much more with dockers and VMs.

 

One thing that would be nice is a native backup solution.  Whether it be off site, or to another server.

I love how much information is available to solve specific configuration problems with any system combination imaginable, and how even a specific question for a very isolated problem will usually get addressed by either staff or a member of the community in a reasonable timeframe. 

 

I would like to see some more specific performance optimization tools for VMs on Threadripper systems, as it can be a challenge to properly configure a processor with multiple numa nodes to run efficiently.
