This is my current computer setup as of 5.8.20: Thinkpad P53 Main OS: Arch Linux CPU: Intel i7-9850H RAM: 64GB SSD: 512GB NVMe GPU: Intel UHD 630 / nVidia Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q Desktop Main OS: Void Linux (haha) CPU: AMD FX-8350 RAM: 16GB SSD: 2 500GB SSDs, one with an optimize-offline'd Win10 Education GPU: nVidia GTX 970 HDD: 3x4TB HDDs in RAID 5 NAS Synology DS1019+ HDD: 5x12TB HDD in RAID 5 -Pihole -Jdownloader -Plex -Kiwix Linux- I started using Linux as a main OS a few months ago, after maintaining a couple of Debian servers over the years and installing Ubuntu/Mint a couple of times, and I've seriously fallen in love with the simplicity of Unix/Unix-like systems. I like Arch quit a bit, but (ironically enough) I've found Void to be very similar, but better in certain key ways. Runit is very snappy, and the system as a whole is incredibly lightweight and minimal, even compared to my very similar Arch setup; I find that a lot of the packages I want are already in the Void repos, whereas with Arch the actual repos are very small and a good portion of the packages I want are in the AUR. A lot of people point to the AUR as one of the strengths of Arch, but I've found there's an incredible number of outdated, unmaintained packages, and when you finally DO find what you're looking for, you still have to trust what whomever put it on the AUR is trustworthy (or check through the source code), compile it, and hope that it will still have continued support as new versions appear. It's just a mess. Synology- Don't buy one of these. Seriously, you will be 100 percent better off if you instead buy a computer with similar specs and put headless Debian or Ubuntu on it. You could probably build a much higher powered NAS/home server with the amount of money that you will spend on a Synology box, and all you really get in the tradeoff is a nicer looking box to sit tucked away somewhere and an admittedly very user friendly web GUI. The DiskStation OS is basically a lightweight linux distro with enough modifications to make it a huge pain to do anything outside of what Synology wants you to do with it, or install any packages outside of Synology's very limited repositories. SSH access is wonky, you can void the warranty by upgrading the RAM higher than 8 or 16 GB, it's just a mess. As you can tell I'm kind of a nerd. -Vx
