These are “desktop environments”. They are essentially the graphical elements you interface with the operating system. icons, windows, buttons, those sort of things.
The two most common are KDE and GNOME. KDE has a very Windows-like appearance and functionality. GNOME is the same but for MacOS.
I have to agree, to the extent that it is very vanilla and missing a lot of things a new user may want but don’t know they need or don’t want to take the time to figure out how to make it work.
Bambu is in the initial phase of enshittification.
I wish they were more open
This is how you can tell.
Also every time someone links to a print on their website it begs me to download their app.
Cannot recommend.
Your AI acceleration makes the whole thing a lot less genuine.
Saved, thanks
At that point just get a Mac.
There are lots and lots of reasons not to do that that I’m sure you already know but are determined to be an asshole regardless.
Gnome has the same “we know better than you do
Never seen it.
That is the fun part about Linux is installing anything that’s not a Flatpak 😵💫
The process for installation is more or less the same for all of them.
Linux Mint and PopOS are the “go to” suggestions. I really don’t like the way either of them look. I’m partial to GNOME for aesthetics and ease of use.
Bazzite comes with most of the stuff you will want pre-loaded, and also the cool Steam Deck Gamescope interface. It’s the only one I’ve used with seamless background updates like you might be accustomed to on Android or iOS. That’s my recommendation.
But you can do all of that with an app on your local device.
I can’t believe that a project hasn’t previously heavily focused on becoming a fully feature complete Self-hosted Podcast platform
…y tho? What’s the point?
The problem is using Proxmox…
The Minisforum tablet seems to work well with Linux.
The installation is not the problem…
Any advice/links for a beginner
you can start installing Proxmox

I would not look at his guide. If you’ve watched any of Louis’ videos, you already know this guy is a ranting machine. He can go on and on for hours about things. I watched about 15 minutes of his rambling and realized he had gotten basically nowhere. It’s also one of the more complex ways of doing things. Use ZimaOS to get started with the easy button.
Stick with whatever router you have, for starters. You can upgrade later. You don’t necessarily need that at all.
For the actual server I highly recommend this guy. N100 is very common due to being very inexpensive and efficient. You’ll have to add RAM and an SSDs but you probably want to choose exactly how large that is anyway. It has 4xNVMe and 2xSATA, if you decide you want to expand later.
0.1kWh per hour? Day? Month?
What’s in your system?
