@lemmy.worldI learned how to use a computer basically all by myself. Been using computers in some way or since I was 5 or smth like that and I can't really say that it "clicked". I just got gradually better at it, because I was (and still am) a huge nerd.
Depends on the distribution. And how used you are to windows.
Imo, for the easiest possible experience, choose fedora and use it sorta like desktop android.
The mods are actual humans, not bots with no life who scroll reddit all day. It's free, doesn't track my data and can be used without an app on mobile...
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...
Grade 12. Absolute waste of time. Like... "I taught myself HTML/JS/CSS, instead of listening" levels of a waste of time.
Yes. The biggest flaw of railjack is that there isn't enough of it.
DE, please add more railjack
