If you are after a Debian based system, with an interface for file server/backups/network storage, with a (web) interface, you are pretty much describing https://www.openmediavault.org/ . Decent plugin ecosystem to set up Wireguard, as well as a web interface to set up docker based containers for anything.

MS doesn't blame the user when they get confused by a GUI or become intimidated by a command line interface.
Umm, yes they do. Look at copilot (as one recent example). The full range of opinion I've ever encountered goes from apathy to hatred. (Never heard of anyone having anything positive to say about it, the 'nicest' thing being to the effect of 'I just ignore it, so I don't care'). And yet, Microsoft's attitude is that 'the user is wrong, deal with it', and this has always been the case in both Windows and Mac OS, while the various OSS DEs attempt to fix real user frustrations.
Many of the points they make are true for GNOME specifically, but thankfully, there are plenty of other options, and Linux != GNOME.
Of course it does. This particular change may seem innocuous in itself, but the idea of compliance with ridiculous laws like this one, in one jurisdiction, being implemented in a project used globally will result in compromising everyone's privacy/security, regardless of whether they are even subject to that law or not.
If anything, it's more troubling for those outside the relevant jurisdiction, since we get 0 say on the laws, and have no actual reason to comply.
They don't really have to support the controller, though. Steam input lets you map controller inputs to kb/m inputs, so no degree of controller support is required. If there are any programmes that don't work (which is possible, there are weird quirks in any system), I've certainly never encountered them.
Precisely. SSD puts the decorations in the hands of your window manager, which allows you to customise what information and controls are available in the title bar (or if you even want to display one at all), so you can use the space much more efficiently. With CSD, you're down to the whims and opinions of the application, and their space-wasting choices (and whether they even choose to respect your theming).
That kind of case makes sense, actually.
Wow, that's wild. I guess that's what you get from being such a young/niche project, they haven't had the time/demand to come up against the problems that all the other distros had to solve years ago.
I DLed Cachy with the torrent. Another thing I wish more distros would offer, haha!
I don't think I've ever encountered a distro that doesn't offer a torrent download option, since it saves the project expensive hosting costs.
Since when did CSD become accepted, let alone encouraged? Titlebars should only ever be drawn by the system. This trend of individual applications drawing their own titlebars is a disaster that results in fragmentation and inconsistent behaviour. The absolute disaster that is the titlebars is one of the main reasons I cannot bring myself to use GNOME, recently.

Popup ads? Where are they? That's not something I've heard of, but then I always use an adblocker...
I used it for years on a raspberry pi, and it was great, very easy to manage storages and different ways of sharing over a network.
