OK that’s better than what I’ve seen. Notepadqq I think was 2.4gb and I said no to that one. But again I don’t run Ubuntu.

The snap store is some proprietary store Canonical runs, and snaps are friggin huge in size. I don’t really know though as I don’t use Ubuntu anymore

Jellyfin is working pretty well for TV too, with the Schedules Direct feed. Just doesn’t get the naming right.

In Linux you just download, extract, and change the symlink. It is really easy.

Really only if you’re running your own email server. Otherwise as far as I know dynamic DNS fills the need.
You aren’t in any more risk either way.

Sounds like maybe you want to look into pfsense to do traffic filtering. Highly recommend.

Tumbleweed rebuild the entire repo after the xz-utils thing, I had like 5500 to update

Hmm I have none of these issues

If the distro has solid Cinnamon repositories I recommend that to noons (in other words, Mint). It is pretty seamless. Honestly the thing really holding back the era of Linux desktops st home is that Libre Office looks different than MS Office. In the office it is the management, SCCM is hard to give up apparently.

Option 2 is not long for this world

Literally saw 25% to 50% range the other day

No, POE. Just the round black ones, I forget the model.

The only gotcha I can think of is the 4k bandwidth, better make sure you can handle more than one camera on your network.

Not parent, but Zoneminder locally with the zmninja app works pretty well. VPN allows remote access, so it is slightly complicated but not too bad.

Reolink and Zoneminder has been working fine. Put the cameras in a vlan, block their access except to the ZM server, you can use any IP camera.
