Did a bunch of computers over the last year. Kids computers, personal, mini PCs, 2 HTPCs. Only real issue I’ve had was I had to switch to a DP to HDMI from a HDMI cable because one of the HTPCs wouldn’t do resolution or refresh rate higher than a 3rd grader’s chromebook. Once I swapped the cable it was fine. Most are Mint, 1 CachyOS, one Bazzite.

We play a ton of games and watch a ton of media and we’ve had no trouble at all with anything. None of us play games that want anti-cheat so that’s a big plus.

Just wanted to comment in support of the original answer. The person is exactly right.

If audiobooks ever become a thing for the kid, nothing beats Anonamouse.

You can also just add their list to ublock and it works great. No need to install from a Russian source.

Thank you for posting this. I had no idea and it’s one of my most used apps.

I had the same experience as many here. Great place to start out and if you don’t need or want more control then it’s perfect. I ended up on unraid and mostly use docker for apps.

I upvoted your comment but man I wouldn’t even take a freebie from Oracle. Just an absolutely rotten company and Larry Ellison is one of the worst humans on the planet.

I’m 3 time zones away from my server and it hasn’t crashed yet after being gone for 3 days. I’m very proud of it.

Anyone tried it?

Proxmox Unraid UniFi Raspberry Pi Docker

I don’t have time to respond, but exploring the capabilities of any of those things would be a great place to start.
