I can’t personally attest to the “easy to use self hosting OS” since I immediately installed Ubuntu (soon to be Debian) but the hardware is good and the preinstalled OS should let you get a feel for things.

IIRC, the biggest issue with TrueNAS SCALE + Docker is that they really run the containers on a ‘hidden’ kubernetes cluster and obfuscate the standard docker and docker-compose way of doing things behind a gui with limited customization and poor field descriptions.
