Is anyone familiar with setting up a straightforward PXE OS deployment at home? I’m comfortable with MDT because that’s my standard tool in the office. Recently I discovered my Synology NAS can handle PXE image installations, so I just need a free solution that doesn’t require a Windows Server for setup. It should be simple enough to capture reference images using preinstalled software, with drivers installed manually. I’m aware of Clonezilla but wondering if there are other more suitable options.

Only WDS or SCCM/MDT has been utilized. Some studies indicate FOG might serve as a Linux-based alternative.
