My university uses SharePoint to upload course classes material, and it's slow and buggy as fuck. Every minute spent using SharePoint, I'd rather it be spent in being kicked in the balls. Every interaction I have with SharePoint is frustrating, it's one of the worst thing that happened to my life and I was happy before this software.
(/s, but not too much)

You just wait until the day you are going to have to use SAP. SharePoint is going to end up feeling like a cool summer breeze!

Honestly it's a bit of a shame because there's so many little things that SharePoint does right that I immediately miss when going to another product. Lists alone, much less the combined portfolio of Lists + Pages + Power automate is such an amazing power user combination that I can't find a viable replacement for in GSuite/Atlassian/virtually anywhere else. It really is too bad that the core Document Libraries module is so lacking in performance.

Any reason to choose this over OwnCloud or Nextcloud?

I'd be curious to hear from anyone that uses Nextcloud and it's actually functional instead of being so slow that it is unusable. I've never had success getting it running

Been running nextcloud on a raspberry pi 4 on prem for a very small business <5 users for about 3-4 years ish. It’s faster than most clouds because it’s local. I’ve had very little trouble with it. Don’t tend to use much the features apart from files sync though.

Redis? Php8?

Been running it for years
It just works and always has

How did you set it up and how do you run it? What are the specs of the machine you run it on. I've tried setting it up a few times, because it looks exactly like a project I'd want to self host, but its just been unusable.

Is what?
It isn't obvious at a first glance, but this is a fork of ocis (i.e., ownCloud's Go rewrite). It is hosted on Github(https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud). They don't really provide any info on how/what is different from ocis that I could find.
