Yes that’s exactly what the person you replied to was saying.

DMCA was built to save IP, however it’s routinely abused and used for censorship. And not a single thing is done to the abusers so they continue with their nonsense.

That’s on the company for paying pennies for their dev and production roles.

Well technically it’s not Google, it’s their mother company Alphabet. Tons of companies are built up like this.

I get what you are implying but it’s quite the norm.

Lol it’s because too much weird shit is normalized in the States. It’s up to every other country to point out that something is stupid or wrong.

I think they meant why wait to switch to Linux not the why wait to purchase newer hardware.

Oh man, I was a bit worried. I paid for top dollar equipment for my rig and I would hate for my system to not sweat with a malnourished start menu.

You’re correct, with a bit more know how and knowledge it’s completely doable. Quick question maybe, once you create a pool and are utilizing it, are you able to add/remove drives as needed or does that require additional work to be completed? I am under the impression that the pools can be created with a variety of drives but making any physical adjustments are a bit of trouble.

However, I do appreciate you posting about this, maybe it’ll help someone else that might be browsing through here. Thank you.

Best of luck jjlinux. I hope you have a ton of fun getting your system up and running.

Use either proxmox or unraid. Don’t stack.

They are both great in their own respects but you need to choose what works for you and your hardware.

Up until recently I liked unraid due to being able to use multiple disks with different capacities. You don’t really have that freedom with proxmox.

You’re welcome, have fun :). You can also setup virtual machines to see if you like the look and feel before actually installing it on your system.

This way you’ll be able to try a handful of distros at a time, just a bit of a speed run so you can get to the one you want faster.

Try it. You’re asking for something subjective and dependent on hardware and use case.

For example I had a ton of trouble with mint. I tried Ubuntu and it was okay. I then tried popos and have been running it for over 3 years now and I’ve had maybe one large hiccup but nothing but a stable system.
