Level1techs tends to go more into the enterprise server side but Wendell always has some gadget to show off.
I’d also advise to keep an out on the maker space, like raspberryPi or other SBCs, there are inexpensive machines and plenty of guides for various applications which don’t require much Linux knowledge if you’re already doing server stuff.
I’ve seen this recently - https://youtu.be/5ZQra087xOU?si=uJUaC1wv26z2Z7oB
Haven’t looked up a lot on this subject but have a look at https://pikvm.org/
I know there’s an answer but there are also inexpensive IP KVMs if you wanna go that route.

Have a look here, it might help. I can’t help much, I have KDE and Hyprland but I setup theming in KDE and it also sets in Hyprland.
Come to Spain, we have everything
Well, you’re already on a Debian based distro and not Ubuntu. Let it do it’s thing in the most boring way :D
The LTS kernel is still version 6.6, till 12/2026, so you’re up to date. I wouldn’t worry.
This is the future we were promised, dumb machines doing work 24/7. I’d change it to Debian but you stick with whatever works best for you.
Debian runs on most cloud servers, it’s pretty secure. The outdated packages refer mostly to apps, which is the reason why Debian is so stable. No frills and boring. Documentation is plenty on the internet and for server space it’s probably the most compatible OS.
I’m running Debian 11, kernel 6.10 on Odroid. Arch on my desktop.
Keep replying, be civil and people will engage with you. Most of us switched to Mastodon to avoid engagement algorithms
I don’t think that just by having an AMD card would solve your issue. Granted that with AMD there’s hardly any setup required.
I also pay for it and watch it on my android TV. And I completely agree with you. But for now it’s my main source of TV and I mainly follow channels I subscribe. I don’t listen to music on YT, i do follow some live music channels
Thank you for the write up. It’s very helpful.
I’d pick another CPU (even Intel) but I understand that you’re bound to the motherboard.
I’m looking for a SFF build, what’s your PC-case?
I also couldn’t get sddm to work from the KDE settings. I changed the sddm.conf file manually and I’m using the catpuccin theme. The Arch wiki helped (as usual).
Yeah, but the form factor of the steam deck makes it more appealing if I want to set It up in the living room
Ok. I get it now. I’ve been trying to build something cheap as a Linux gaming setup and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m better off buying the steam deck.
Warning
If a user executes the Reset this PC command (Settings -> Update & Security -> Recovery) with the Keep my files option (or the Remove Everything option) the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline settings will need to be re-applied in order to re-restrict the device. Egress traffic may occur prior to the re-application of the Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline settings. To restrict a device effectively (first time or subsequently), it is recommended to apply the Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline settings package in offline mode. During update or upgrade of Windows, egress traffic may occur.
This guide just helped me realize why I don’t use windows. The fact that you need to remove and not add is why I like Linux.
I would stick with SMB and SSH(SFTP). SMB for content sharing and accessible on any device like PCs or phones. SSH, which includes SFTP, for accessing everything else on the server.
+1 for bazzite. And OP had already worked with fedora
I have similar thoughts. I use bandcamp for smaller artists but I would recommend nicotine+ on Linux
