While Linux TTY is multiseat by default, each TTY is a seperate user login, I'm not sure any of the GUI's support this function.

My home server is equipped with SSDs. There's a couple of reasons for that. The 2 main ones are Speed and Energy Consumption.

My server is placed in a different room of the house, so I'm not bothered with noise, but if it was in in my office, noise would be another reason to get the SSDs.

The only upside to HDDs is probably the GiB/$ you get. Otherwise SSDs are just as good or better these days.

If you want to edit files in a browser, then it will all depend on what kind of files you want to edit.

If it's office suite related files, I'm leaning towards the Collabora Online suite with Nextcloud. If it's markdown files, I'd go with something like HedgeDoc

It's called kde-unstable for a reason! ;) Packaging issues are expected to happen as it's where the maintainer irons out the issues.

My group plays on one Friday evening each month. It's not much, but as we are all grown ups with families it's just about what we can spare in out lives.

So I would probably move the game to a non-weekend evening and maybe just have 1 per month. If your wife can't accept that she might as well be telling you to stop playing all together.

I know of PRIME, which can be used to offload work to dedicated GPU's.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME#For_open_source_drivers_-_PRIME

It uses the github cert, but that is not set to use the github.io subpages that start with www.

Maybe the UID/GUID of the plex user changed?

Or polkitd has the same UID/GUID and takes it over when installed/updated?

Or the return of The Cube.

The difference, as I understand it, is that Hyprland is not a DE, it's a Windows Manager. So it should be compared with the likes of Sway, i3 and Awesome.

Nice. I've been running Plasma 6 on my Arch test laptop. Not a huge visual difference, but it works fairly well.

I’ve got a million keyboards, mice, monitors, cables, chargers, adapters, etc.

Sure, you do. But people just starting likely do not. I'm thinking of the new user, not just myself.

Hell, I bought a few Pis on sale for $5 each years ago. How is that PC going to beat five bucks, 2 watts max, for my given use-cases (things like Pi-Hole, Vaultwarden, Joplin, etc)?

For that you don't even need a Pi 5. You can get a cheap SBC at around $10-20 to do that work.

Yea, to replace my Pis would be about $30 each, but they’d fit in the same place, and migration is a snap.

And you are assuming people are only buying new boards to replace old boards.

but you keep going on like it’s just the better device.

"Keep going on"? I've mentioned it maybe 2 times, that's hardly enough to classify it as "keep going on".

I just don't believe that Raspberry Pi or SBCs are the king(s) of home servers anymore. There are a lot of cheap x86_64 based options out there. But yes, if you just upgrade from a previous generation the Pi 5 is perfect for you, even though it's likely overkill for your use-case.
