I currently use gandi but I’m planning on moving to cloudflare. Not in too much of a rush since I did a 10 year lease.

Yeah, shutdown /s /t $time_seconds
Your best bet is getting a platform your can sideload apps onto and running SmartTube
AdGuard Home and blocky are other popular options. I switched over to AdGuard Home a while back because it supported DNS over HTTPS although I’m not sure if that’s still a relevant reason. I run AGH as a docker container but it is easy to run in a LXC or VM. There’s also a tool to sync configs if you need multiple instances. Notice: AGH block lists are formatted like uBlock Origin lists so you will not be able to use PiHole style lists.
DNS based ad blockers won’t work when ads are served from the same place as the content. Which is why DNS based ad blockers don’t work against Twitch or YouTube. So YMMV.
If you’re looking to block interface ads and select streaming service ads there are block lists available like this one. The game with smart TVs is blocking the ads breaks the TV a little because sometimes it calls back to the same servers for updates and misc info like weather.
It’s not very expandable and very underpowered but I’ve been using an Odroid HC-4 with Armbian and a separate compute server for a while. It’s a decent budget option.
I run a Plex container on Proxmox and have it connect to my Armbian/OMV NAS via SMB. The way I got SMB shares working was to mount them from the Proxmox host and then mount them read-only from the container. (better security ig) I’d be happy to share my configs although it might take me a couple days to pull them up.
Another alternative I’ve been thinking about is buying an external drive rack and attaching it to the outside of my server’s PC case. Then running SATA extenders but this might not be possible depending on the kind of mini PC and I’ve heard extending power can get dicey if you have more than a few drives.
I use their toaster NAS. The HC4 I think. Not the best multimedia server but it’s a serviceable file server.
I mean at the end of the day it’s all Linux so it’s not so different and just a minor convenience.
This is just for Fedora: comes with non-free audio/video codecs, non-free driver repos.
For other distro: It comes with nVidea drivers, WINE, OBS, Blender, Proton, Lutris, and Flatpak set up/preinstalled. (drivers detected on install I believe) there’s also package and kernel tweaks to boost gaming performance, supposedly.
In comparison to Mint: Fedora packages and kernel versions get updated a little faster than Ubuntu/Debian based distros.
So Nobara takes a lot of the “pain” out of system setup for people who are new to Linux and gamers/streamers.
I haven’t used it personally though I’m currently running EndeavorOS and using a SteamDeck for gaming.
I like Arch as well but there is a higher learning curve than with other distro and if you go for Arch go for EndeavorOS or another Arch derivative (except Manjaro).
However, if you’re looking for something to let you game. Nobara is a distro that comes with all the gaming comparability layers and drivers preinstalled. It’s based on Fedora so it’s relatively up to date but not rolling like Arch.
Just a heads up OpenSUSE is phasing out leap so it won’t have a stable release “soon” unless the things with ALP shake out well.
To install desktop add-ons you need to use nightly and create an add-on collection to sync. But sponsor block might have a mobile version that you can install from the settings section of the normal app.
Ah give Granny a tracheotomy, clever.
Docker container pls
Hey at least you showed her your vim and not your nano or micro
