Consider that with the latest hardware your processor is under 1% or 2% load running a bloat machine like windows even if you used the lightest weight distro without any desktop environment at all the maximum possible performance gain would be 1% or 2%.

Shouldn't torrents be used for large files?
Any word, if you look at it for long enough.
OK so a lot of people are recommending bazzite. I have been using it for a while and I do not recommend it. Mainly due to the fact you more or less can't install any program other than through the software centre unless you use a vm with the included "box buddy" program which for me has been very hit and miss for which programs work.
Go ahead and try bazzite for yourself but I would recommend either fedora or Linux mint both with the xfce desktop since a lightweight desktop seams to be what your looking for.
Kubenetes or k3s and some volunteer computing programs. Or mine monaro to offset the power bill of your other servers.
I honestly don't see the big deal with people hating on proton. It's still open source it's still encrypted and doesn't mine your data that seams to check most of the boxes for me. The only problem I had with it was the default main client which shows upgrades to go unlimited all the time but I just use Thunderbird now.
Wait I did this to my main drive everything went black is this suposed to happen? will it start working again?
Every game I want to play actually working first time everytime.
Finally starting my self hosted journey. I have everything I need I'm setting up a 6tb nas for linux iso's photos and files. And I recently got a "broken" laptop that works perfectly fine that I will use for running all my applications in proxmox such as immich, jellyfin and nextcloud. And probably many others in the near future.
