Bit of a different beast. Not something I would daily drive though. Slackware perhaps. But gentoo other then the docs being top notch and the learning experience being fairly streamlined. It is also a good distro for daily use.

I seed content I get as much as I can to I2P. No data caps here so not really any downside. You do have to limit stuff a bit to not overwhelm your connection at some point

I would argue Gentoo is better suited for that. It is just compilation that can take a long time.

Or get a google pixel with GrapheneOS and make a extra user profile for it.

No need too, the great folks that maintain the distro do the hard work for you.

I download straight from Tidal. Tben use a navidrome server to stream my music anywhere I go with my own library.

Very old and outdated. https://massgrave.dev/ has everything you could need in regards of windows and MS office.

Currently I run Talos on a VM on scale. I went with Truecharts. The plan for me is to run it on bare metal at some point.

Welcome captains!

This might be interesting with Gentoo. I know compilation with probably be slow. But you can highly customize it for RISC-V I think.

If it gets the wife approval you know you are on to something

You can choose a slower train for scale. Go for the stable release or even the enterprise release. Update once in a few months or so.

I went with Talos OS for my apps after the mess from IX-systems and for the most part it has been set and forget.

You can robably get about any server and make a NAS out of that.

Well the install comes with a load less crap pre-installed as well.

The only once that are harder to get from the official Microsoft website are Enterprise , IoT, LTSC versions. Which IMO are better then the standard home,pro,workstation etc. Also server ISOs are a bit harder to get from their.

Yes and the better option if you do want to use a Microsoft account. Just login to the apps like onedrive on the local account.

All files are official Microsoft ISO files. This has everything you need including explanation and instructions how you can verify its legitimize. and how to activate windows

To bypass the forced Microsoft account you can create a unattend file and pre configure the ISO to make a local account.

He’s evolving guys! Just backwards… And even choosing a OS that is reaching EOL.

That is not entirely true. You can still get windows viruses true wine. And wine isn’t sandboxed.
