From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can't recommend Nextcloud enough. I also recommend checking out self-hosting! It's ridiculously easy to setup with the example docker-compose files they have in their git repo. If you have a NAS or a machine at home, you can basically create your own online storage that's completely private.
I have a raspberry pi 2, would this handle Nextcloud? Any recommendations for a hard drive to use with it please?
Being 32 bit, it's getting a bit old for using it with modern software. But maybe take a look at this and give it a try:

NextcloudPi is a fairly low-maintenance version of NC, the only way I'd recommend installing it besides as a docker image. Straight installing NC is a recipe for disaster, it's notoriously bad at updating that way.
Whatever you do, don't use the builtin web updater inside NC to update nextcloud itself. Their app updater is fine, but the actual Nextcloud web updater is utter dogshit and will break things.
Thank you 😃
