  • Separate the use-case here:

    1. For your desktop, whatever works. There is no one distro that gives you some leg-up on performance or anything else. You can install the same software on all, and the kernel is largely the same.

    2. Just get or build a NAS for hosting media. A Synology or Qnap has a bit of added cost, but the maintenance overhead is reduced by a LOT versus running TrueNAS, OMV, or similar. That being said, choose the right tool for the job, and don’t just run Debian for this purpose because it just adding admin overhead you don’t need. This probably has been solved from your specific angle. What you want is simplicity in maintenance. Being able to hotswap and repair a failed drive means a huge win.


  • Kinda just sounds like the new-ish reality of younger and terminally online folks who have passed on IRL relationships and are just experiencing things you probably should have through normal socializing in your teens.

    These are breakup feelings. You just have to feel it, recognize what it is, understand what it is, and work through it CONSTRUCTIVELY. Don’t be a fucking dick, don’t get overly emotional. It might suck, but it’s not the first or last time you’ll feel it if you’re feeling it now. Just try and go about your life, fix mistakes, keep your other relationships healthy, and you’ll eventually find another situation that works better for you.
