Because linux doesn't have an "ecosystem". You have to either make your existing ecosystem work with linux or center your ecosystem around apps and things that work with linux. I do that and I'd say it's more standardized than both the windows and the mac ones...

150$ is rather ambitious for what you are describing as a custom made low power server. Managing to build something... Anything commercial out of new, hell even refurbished parts that has enough horse power to run anything more than a pihole/DNS server at this price point would be a challenge and a half. If you're going refurbished/2nd hand, you're likely gonna spend half of that on just shipping the parts to you.
I believe you are vastly underestimating the price of new low end parts and vastly overestimating the capabilities and availability of old micro servers. I'd say something like this would work at a price range of around 300~400$ (and even that's ambitious imo).
And even then, that's a NICHE audience you'd be targeting. It would be people who don't wanna pay subscriptions, but also don't wanna be bothered to spend a day or 2 figuring out how to set up a simple linux box on an old computer they have. I'm not saying that audience doesn't exist, it's just veeeeery niche.

Chimera Linux is actually really nice. Been daily driving it for a little bit, and as long as you don't have an Nvidia GPU, it should work just fine.

I've tried FreeBSD and in my experience, it was just like clunkier, worse documented linux. I specifically remember having issues with wifi drivers not working and drivers as a whole being a huge pain. I've also tried setting up OpnSense in a VM (for testing purposes) and that was just as clunky.
I've also thought of trying TrueNAS core... But the way I see it, it's just clunkier TrueNAS scale without proper virtualization and with more limitations.
And those my thoughts on FreeBSD. Clunky.
E: All of that and it's just licensed under the wrong license... I like the BSD license, I just don't think it works for an OS.

Chimera Linux. You'd think that a distro using its own bsd-like userspace and dinit instead of systemd is janky and unusable, but it's been one of the most painless experiences I've had.
Genuinely recommend trying it if you don't have an Nvidia GPU.

I'm biased towards TrueNAS scale, because in my experience, it's been really rock solid, running on bare metal. It also allows you to setup things like Nextcloud/Tailscale/ a lot more, in 1 click from their "app store". It's also got all the virtualization bells and whistles. As for ZFS, again, just like everything else, it's been rock solid and setting up a ZFS pool is pretty much done for you when you install TN Scale.
As for remote access, I've always personally done it via a local Wireguard server and can't really compare it to tailscare or whatever cloudflare does... Because I've never used those.
If you need a GPU just for encoding, go on the 2nd hand market and pick up a used Nvidia RTX 2000/3000 card. Intel Arc could also work, but it's a bit quirky afaik...

There is a difference between Debian and Debian-based. I wouldn't recommend Debian itself, because it's got quite a bit of post-install setup (installing sudo, setting up flatpak, installing network manager, that kind of stuff). Linux mint is one of my go-tos when it comes to new users though...

Yes, Linux can be more problematic on some laptops. Especially ones with realtek wifi/Bluetooth or Nvidia/Intel hybrid graphics.

Yes, try EndeavorOS.

Linux gives you the full power to delete whatever, whenever. You can delete anything and everything you want without needing any workarounds.
-
No. Linux by default gives you root access. It's a thing you just get. In fact you need it to update most* distros. You don't need to "root" Linux. Root privileges are a given on most distros.
-
Install the other DE's package from your distro's repos, logout and the login interface should have an option to change your DE, the next time you login.

It's... Complicated. TL;DR Wayland is the more modern display server that most distros and desktops are in the process of moving to. I'd suggest using it over X11, wherever possible. As for docker, that doesn't really matter for desktop use.

Yeah, for some reason, after the newest UI update, changing the volume from another device is broken... AGAIN. Good thing I use spotify like that only 90% of the time. I sure do love using services I pay for...
I am aware of the switches you can pass to each app to make it use native wayland, but is there any way to do it globally?
This is sort of a follow-up to my previous post, asking about migrating ZFS pools to a new machine. Migration went smoothly and the new machine is quite the nice upgrade, if I may say so myself I went from: A hacked together custom build AMD FX-8320E 8c/8t @3.20 GHz 16GB ram To a used HP ProLient dl380e gen8 2x Xeon E5-2450 16c/32t @2.10 GHz 64GB ram Not mentioning storage, as I haven't changed that, still using a 5x 2TB RAIDz1 HDD pool Huge thanks to anyone who replied to my old post :) The ProLient has been quite the fun experience, got it for real cheap and it's been pretty great. Took me a while to figure out how to get the thing booting, iLO4 is not as horrible as I expected and it is kinda loud, but pretty great other than that.
I've recently been looking at options to upgrade (completely replace) my current NAS, as it's currently more than a little bit jank and frankly kinda garbage. I have a few questions about that and about migrating my current TrueNAS scale installation or at least it's settings over. Q1: Does the physical order of the drives matter? I.E. The order they are plugged into the SATA ports. Q2: Since I have TrueNAS scale installed on a USB flash drive (yeah, ik you're not supposed to but it is what it is), how bad of an idea would it be to just... unplug it from my current NAS and plug it into the new one? Q3: If all else fails, how reliable is TrueNAS scale's importing of ZFS Pools and are there any gotchas with it? Q4: Would moving to a virtualized solution like proxmox and installing TrueNAS scale on top of that in a VM make more sense on a beefier server? E: Thank you all for the replies, the migration went smoothly :)
I mean, the title really says it all. It occurs seemingly at random, but not all the time and I've been unable to determine any pattern to it... I'm using the latest proton stable version and pipewire-pulse for audio. Any ideas on how to fix it?
I've had this same issue on Gentoo and now on Alpine, both with plasma 6 (Wayland). Pipewire and plasma 6 seem to be working as intended other than that... Any help would be appreciated! E: the issue is plasma 6 exclusive, I have hyprland installed along side it and screensharing works just fine there
Due to unfortunate circumstances (me dropping the laptop) I have now ended up with a half broken laptop that has a broken screen and a dying battery. I could repair it, however, I don't wanna bother as I'm very likely gonna be getting a new one soon. The laptop itself still works fine, however the broken screen and dying battery make it pretty much useless as a laptop and I already have a home lab NAS thing, so I'm kinda out of ideas on what to do with it. Any ideas? Here are the specs: CPU: i5-8300h GPU: intel HD830/GTX1050ti RAM: 16GB Storage: 128GB SSD
I have recently setup a system with TrueNAS scale and while it's been mostly smooth sailing (lies), I can't figure out why TrueNAS itself cannot connect to virtual machines and vice versa, which kinda sucks for me as I have a wireguard server setup on a virtual machine, which works but clients connecting to it cannot connect to anything hosted on the host itself... (And the whole reason I have wireguard setup like this is because I couldn't figure out how to setup the wg-quick app, it just refuses to work for unknown to me reasons... and by "work" I mean that the WG clients just cannot connect to it, the webui itself works). The VMs are set with Virtio as their NIC and truenas itself is set to a static IP and can connect to everything else... Any help would be appreciated... [SOLUTION] This is gonna be a quick overview on how to fix this issue, as it seems to be fairly common. You can find more detailed instructions here: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/truenas-scale-ultimate-home-setup-incl-tailscale/186444 Scroll down to the section titled “Oh but wait” Note: This problem cannot be fixed through neither the webui, web shell, nor SSH, you need to have physical access to the machine, a display adapter and a monitor to display the TUI on. 1. From the cli menu, go to "Configure network interfaces" 2. Remove DHCP/Any other static alias you have on your main interface by either pressing delete on it or by manually going to it and deleting it, just leave the alias field blank and ipv4_dhcp to "No", then click on Save 3. Create a new interface by bressing "n", select type 'BRIDGE", set name to "br0" (without the quotes) and either enable DHCP or add the IP alias that you previously removed from your main interface as an alias here and click on Save 4. Back on the main "Configure network interfaces screen" press "a" to save changes, then "p" to make them permanent (again without the quotes). 5. At this point, your network should drop out and you shouldn't be able to connect to the WebUI. Reboot the system and everything should work properly again! 6. That's it! Problem solved. Now you should go and change the NICs of the VMs to use the new br0 and they should able to connect to the truenas host just fine.

I recently got a few (5) hard drives to turn my home server into a NAS with trueNAS scale and my idea is to have 4 usable and 1 for redundancy, my question is... How does RAID work, like what is RAID 0, RAID 5, software RAID etc, and does any of that even matter for my use case?
