All the servers I've spun up in the past few years have been Debian instead of my usual Ubuntu.
The last straw was kinda when I learned that installing docker via the install menu gives you the snap version instead of the normal one, with no indication that this is the case.
Windows 11 on the main desktop for gaming reasons. Currently Pop_OS on the laptop, considering moving to Arch. My servers all run Debian or Ubuntu.
Depends on your needs and your threat surface.
Are you just an individual? Use Windows defender and ublock origin in the browser.
If you're setting this up for some older folks create a separate non-administrator id for them to use day to day.
As a business if you need antivirus your really want something with an EDR team behind it looking for anomalies - not just virus signatures. Something like bitdefender EDR or Huntress.
As others have said, bitwarden. I've also heard good things about roboform.
I really love that bitwarden is not only open source but has been professionally code reviewed, and can be self hosted if you've got the knowledge to do so.
Of course, if you're self hosting it make sure you have a solid backup strategy for your vault.
Doesn't come with a power adapter and has weird power requirements. Wouldn't power up at all with a standard 5V 1A wall plug, needed 5V 4A.
Apart from that it's been perfectly fine. I wish other OS than the armbian they provide supported this CPU.
Nothing is really too much.
I have too much hardware to swap out to go 10G networking or I totally would.
The point of my homelab is for me to learn and break stuff in a safe environment, so if that leads me down a Kubernetes rabbit hole at some point so be it.
If you have a Synology their Surveillance Station product is amazing and will work with basically any IP camera brand.
