  • I’ve done a decent amount of Distro hopping with an all team red PC, and CachyOS is fantastic. I recommend Bazzite for people who want no bullshit, OOTB experience. But if you don’t mind minor tinkering, CachyOS is just too good at what it accomplishes. Their gaming meta package, which has custom wine & proton builds, is is such an easy way to milk out that last bit of performance. Their kernel manager and Firefox fork are also just so well done. Not to mention they’re ahead of the game for things like the upcoming NTSYNC in Linux 6.14. Last but not least their default Cachy kernel is the cherry on top.

    Unraid + Unifi network equipment. Everything is scheduled and automatic, with the exception of large Unraid updates, but those are only every ~6 months. Every night mover from cache SSD - > HDD array, then checks for plugin updates, then docker container updates, if Monday morning SSD trim, and if 1st of the month does an array parity check/repair.

    After all that if it’s Monday morning, Unifi will check for firmware then software updates.

    Sometimes a docker container will get a breaking update maybe once a year, and then I just go look @ documentation and see what needs to be changed to the config to fix.






  • Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC is hands down the best! A nearly naked fresh Windows install. Just Defender and Edge. And even then, a lot of the performance impacting Defender options are unavailable due to the W11 version.

    It’s still my go to for gaming. Once it’s all set up, it just stays out of the way, and runs as lean as modern Windows can.

    I highly, highly recommend adding StartAllBack on top of it. Makes the bottom toolbar much, much better.

    I always use a single copy/paste Winget command to install nearly everything in one go, without needing any interaction for each install. Also allows updating installed programs with a single command.

    Massgrave.dev for ISO’s and activation.

    Edit: For some features, you have to be comfortable using Powershell as admin. I myself have to Powershell install 2 AppX packages before I can use Winget. If you go with this version feel free to message me for help.
