I’m not amd guy… I’ve used Intel and Nvidia for ages and ages… when my last upgrade failed hardware wise… I bought a Intel minipc from Beelink with an Intel ultra 5 125h.

It came with windows 11.

I’m a dad of a 1 yr old. who is playing stardew with his wife right now.

Ive formatted a handful of times to different Linux distros to see which felt better for me on this PC.

Manjaro, kubuntu, Debian, kde neon.

Currently I’m running kde neon. Out of the box it likes to reboot on updates… so I found a non-sudo needed cli command to fix that. (It’s a setting apparently in settings)

Anyway…l say all this to say… the way steam is now… and how graphics cards are… you can pretty well run what you want.

Granted it’s antidotal from me… But as long as you’re not buying the absolute latest stuff from a hardware vendor… You’d be fine.

If I was buying now I’d probably not buy the Intel chips that are having troubles but the gen before that… and probably some 3xxx Nvidia card.

And not hesitate to run any distro I wanted.

Ps I like apt… because that’s what I’m comfy with. So I tend to use distros that use apt. Tho manjaro is nice because of the aur… But they have issues company wise

I did perfect media server It’s got mergerfs for splitting data and using disks in various sizes .and snapraid for a level of redundancy. Tho raid isn’t backup.

That said I’m now running this setup on a n100 machine with a qnap tl-800c jbod USB c box.

Works great for downloads / Plex and home server needs.

The b100 chip isn’t amazing… Don’t get me wrong but it works really well for Plex.

Hope this all makes sense. I’m on mobile with out my glasses. Lol

I’m of the mindset that you bought the domain you can do with it as you please. Where I think you’d get into “trouble” is if you were talking about piracy or something associated with their IP.

And the best possible outcome is they contact you and buy it for some much larger amount than you paid for it.

My fiber company double natted me.

It was really messing with my Plex remote connections and my VPN.

If you can’t sort it out locally might want to give your isp a call and find out if they e done the same.

P.s sorry for the shit website link.

Lol go the old school yify method. 700mb h.264 encode.

Enjoy your 7 pixels!

My stuff is named after planets / ships in Star wars.

Server is coruscant

Desktop is malastare

Laptop is anaxes

Portable hard drives are ships

That’s why on my kde desktop at home it has a check box that say “allow these windows to be grouped” and I can check / uncheck as needed.

It works so much better. Imho

Man. Work moved us to windows 11 and you couldn’t ungroup windows on the taskbar… We use RPG / as400 and throughout the day you’ll end up with 4-5 windows… having them all grouped is annoying when I have to hover over a popup to see which window I need.

Googling revealed that win11 wasn’t shipped with that functionality and it was only patched into the operating system in late q3 of last year.

So annoying and a huge productivity hit for me.
