I'd say to treat it like a profession and not a class. Like you would a Blacksmith or Barmaid.
Maybe there are some custom profession stuff available somewhere you can build off, but yeah, most of it would be flavor (pun intended).
It's not something I have encountered in my last 4 years of using Plasma. Maybe some logs will tell you what happened?
I've used btrfs-autosnap for a while on Arch and it's brilliant. Whenever you install or remove something with pacman it creates a btrfs snapshot of your subvolumes and if you have grub-btrfs install too they get added to Grub menu. Very handy.
You can define which subvolumes you want snapshotted and how many snapshots of each you want to keep. Which means it also removes the oldest snapshot when a new is created if it gets over the keep amount.
I think there are som non-free firmware stuff included in most distros.
My wife uses Linux and barely touches the CLI. And when she does, she is only running 1 or 2 specific commands I found for her, that are tied to her needs. But, her main computing device is her phone, so the laptop only gets use a couple of times a month.
Windows (up until windows 8 came out) -> Ubuntu for about a year -> Manjaro for about 6 years -> Arch so far for 2 years.
Mine is about 8W on average.
It's an Odroid H3 that runs Nextcloud, Jellyfin, AudiobookShelf, a bunch of websites and Home Assistant.
It has 2x Sata SSD's connected.
This setup is not high speed at all, so it's not what you asked about. I just answered the headline question. ;)
If any air ventilation fan turns on in the house it uses at least 3x that power, so I don't calculate the price on my servers power draw as it almost not noticable.
I do hope a proper heads-up was giving to developers of the projects before this article went live, so the developers had time to address the issues.
I'm pretty happy with the 2K footage on mine.
I've used OpenCart before. It's a bit sluggish, but gets the job done.
