Family and some friends from back in my days in the military. Those guys are who I keep an eye on, because they don’t use it as frequently as my family.

I use it to track users use/watch habits, to restrict their access if need be. Every user with a password that may or may not be strong is a weak point in my network security.
I would agree. But for the very basics starting and learning, the UI isn’t that intimidating.
OpenMediaVault (OMV) is a Debian server with a very user-friendly web interface. It also has solid documentation and a robust community. I’ve been running it for 6 years, and I am very happy with it.
If you’re on Windows and mildly frustrated about whatever MS is doing that week, the thing you want is a one button install that does everything for you, works first time and requires zero tinkering in the first place.
This is the reason my 77 year old father in law switched. It seemed like every couple of weeks, he was calling me because Microsoft changed something. And it confused him, and he thought he broke something. I got so frustrated that I asked if he was open to trying Linux. After having him try some distros on Live USB, he went with Pop.
Haven’t heard from him other than the occasional question about how to do something new.
I used nothing but Linux for my Master’s and am currently using it for my doctorate. I’ve been full-time on Linux for over 10 years.
I did find that OnlyOffice played better with MS Office than LibreOffice. I also use the school’s Office 365 that they provided me to open my finished files in the web version to verify the formatting matched. There was only one time it didn’t.
Vuescan is great, and near as I can tell it’s one guy. Totally worth it.
Pop has automatic updates now.
The other partner in FUTO is Louis Rossman. Maybe one cancels out the other?
Ummm, their SteamDeck runs Pop? Have you modded it? Because last I checked it ran SteamOS (an immutable Arch variant) and used KDE in desktop mode, whereas Pop uses Gnome…
What are render times like?
I’ve built every NAS/home server I’ve ever had. There’s lots of options out there for the case as well. You could take an SFF Mini ITX case with a single 5 1/4" drive bay and put an icy dock 8 x 2.5" SATA backplane in it. Don’t know if icy dock (brand) is widely available in Europe…
Just pointing out that if you imagine it (form factor with 8 hot swappable drives) there’s probably a solution to build it from scratch.
More than likely. Since the description clearly states “8x3.5 HDD Hot-Swap drive bays.” It’s not the only case of similar form factor that you can get 8 hot swap drive bays. There are literally tons of NAS case designs to choose from.
For the life of me, I can’t figure out the search terms I need to find what I’m looking for. On top of that, I’m beginning to think I heard it on a podcast. But I seem to remember an interview with someone at Valve talking about how they were upstreaming EVERYTHING they were doing. I would assume that meant kernel work as well.
I use some of their switches using Home Assistant’s Homekit integration. Set them up on wifi in their app, add to HA, then block internet access in my router’s firewall. Kind of the best of both worlds at that point.
OpenMediaVault is a Debian server with a Web UI.
I did. This should teach me not to try and cook dinner and post at the same time. I’m NOT that good at multitasking…
AM5 sockets are now LGA like Intel. AM4 was the last PGA socket, so bent pins on the chip are a thing of the past. Make sure to leave the socket cover in place while installing the CPU. Now, the fear is bending a pin on the MoBo.
You too, huh? Thank God for backups.
