Unraid 8 NAS to Drop Slackware for Fedora-Based uCore
↗
Unraid 8 will move from Slackware to Fedora-based uCore, adding integrated backups and Docker Compose support.
The move to Fedora-based uCore gives Unraid users faster security updates and a more standardized Linux base, while keeping the reset-on-reboot model. Built-in backups and Docker Compose support reduce reliance on community plugins, and the new plugin permission system adds a security check before installation.
