There is an enterprise storage shelf (aka a bunch of drives that hooks up to a server) made by Dell which is 1.2 PB (yes petabytes). So there is a use, but it's not for consumers.

The requirement for everything to have a ground wire is fairly new in the scheme of home construction. Depending on when the house was built, and depending on if everything up to now was done to code, would impact if it's there.
Not op but I'll do stuff from time to time that is well below my pay grade. Mind management understands that the pay difference and that I'm not doing my normal responsibilities if I'm helping out...
It was ok(ish). The problem is the book is one of those stories you recommend to people who like fiction. The show...not so much.
They also produced brave new world.
See I just like LMDE. Everything works without fiddling (I want my OS to be boring). And if I feel spicy - backports.
Ask your local sys admin/DevOps nerd what they're doing. The self hosted stacks are easy to maintain if you do it for a living and most of us hand out access to our friends/family.
I'm a senior IT type. My work laptop is Debian.
We like good pastries, coffee, good booze and feeling appreciated. Go make friends with the senior IT types and the help desk manager. Trust me it's with it.

- everything is changeable. But not everything should be changed.
- There will come a time when you need to interact with the command line. This is expected, and no you did not do something wrong.
- Have fun.
Oh if your looking for a distro? Mint is a great entry point (and even can support crusty old graybeards as well).
Fair. And short of someone publishing a study I doubt we will ever know what the best entry point is. So, advocate the atomic distros, I'll advocate the crusty old dinosaur that moves (slightly) faster then molasses. And someone else reading this thread can recommend one of the rolling distros. At the end of the day to me the importance bit is that someone is interested in Linux as a whole.
Also a lot harder to wrap your head around atomic distros when your first playing with Linux. Windows > a traditional distro (even arch) is a lot more similar then making the switch to an immutable distro.

I get it. But the moment we invoke RAID, or ZFS, we are outside what standard consumers will ever interact with, and therefore into business use cases. Remember, even simple homelab use cases involving docker are well past what the bulk of the world understands.
