I feel like you have the wrong idea of what hacking acting a actually is… But yes, as long as you don’t do anything too stupid line forwarding all of your ports or going without any sort of firewall, the chances of you getting hacked are very low…

As for DDOSing, you can get DDOSed with or without self hosting all the same, but I wouldn’t worry about it.

What’s bad about KDE?

If you’re a beginner… or hate jank, don’t use Arch. And make sure you’re using a desktop environment that supports Wayland (GNOME or KDE). Gaming on X11 can be buggy, janky and inconsistent

It’s just funny to annoy people who insist on using GNU/Linux

It goes over all of the steps of setting it up.

GPU passthrough has been pretty good for a while. The reason why Linus couldn’t get it working reliably was because iirc, he tried to do it on windows… I’ve done it before with a single gpu and have very recently set it up again, now that I have a 2nd one and gotta say, it’s pretty damn good…

I really don’t think “has landed” was the best choice of words here…

Try them both and use the one that works better

you can’t spy on me through my webcam, I don’t have one

My hard drives are also 2nd hand and they’ve been reliable so far, I just generally know it’s bad practice…

My tip for saving money: buy as much as possible 2nd hand. You do not need the latest of latest gen hardware for a NAS/Homelab. This is excluding storage, and ESPECIALLY hard drives. Those you should absolutely buy new.

As for setting it up… My recommendation is to use TrueNAS scale with either RAIDz1 or RAIDz2, giving you either 1 or 2 drives of parity, in case something fails…

As for remote access, you can run a wireguard VPN server in a VM, allowing you to access it from anywhere, as long as you’re connected to said VPN.

Idk if it has that, as I just run a SMB share to achieve the same functionality

Yeah… Wayland, the community developed project is more corporate funded than X11, which literally got started by AT&T and is owned by redhat…

Nah, some people just find your rage baiting to be a funny joke, that’s all.

Used to use something called Xquartz, but they seem to have moved away from it recently

Files-on-demand? Meaning… Sync or?

Nextcloud… It’s self hostable with a really good Mac app

Man, proper multi monitor support, smoother animations, a stable desktop experience, lower resource usage and an actually comprehensible desktop stack. Yeah, Wayland is such a mistake, we must go back to the unix way, back to X10 even. And you mentioned that people who like Wayland should go to MacOS… Yk a system, using X11.

Ik you’re just rage baiting for attention but what the hell, I’m bored.
