  • Welcome aboard. You’re going to feel so fulfilled and accomplished when you got all your things hosted on your own. It’s such a peaceful and safe feeling. I have a tiny dell optiplex that runs Debian and it’s been a host for all of my services. Navidrome, audiobookshelf, jellyfin, pihole, own DNS with unbound… Etc. Even built my own android app for music/audiobooks.

    Then got me a domain from cloudflare for $10 a year and now I can access my stuff anywhere I got. My son and wife are both loving it.





  • I want your “clinically deaf” part. There are so many people in this world I’d rather not ever hear their voices. Lmao.

    Jokes aside. If your current machines are working fine and the $35 a month isn’t breaking the budget, then why replace them? I’ll only replace this one I have when something major fails in it, like the motherboard just dying or something I can’t fix. I’ve already replaced the fan on it. It was like $7 from eBay or something like that. But I’m that guy who never replaces things unless they absolutely need replacement. So, if you’re not that guy, ignore my dumbass. lol







  • For switching between monitors and the tv, just get an hdmi selector with a remote. Something like this for example. That way you just turn on your pc with the controller and switch to the tv with the selector remote. As for starting in steam big picture mode, you can’t have it both ways. You can do either or as far as I know. You could try installing cachy OS regular desktop then install the handheld package, which puts an icon on your desktop that when you click, it takes you to big picture mode. Although, I’m not sure whether or not the handheld package causes the machine to boot directly into big picture mode.
