If your Internet connection is 1g or slower just about any desktop built in the last 10 years should be fast enough. The critical thing is having a good network card. Intel is generally very reliable for network cards and you can get used ones on eBay for not to much.

That sucks, but is understandable. I hope Valve can do something positive like buy the design from Dbrand then sell it themselves. Then Dbrand doesn't loose a bunch of money, Valve can protect their IP, and fans can buy the fun thing they want. Seems unlikely, but it would be cool.

The suggestion I have heard is to have the remote machine connect to the machine on a schedule and pull the backups onto itself. Then your local machine doesn't have direct access to the backups, making it harder to compromise the backups if hacked. But this also assumes the backup machine is locked down and isolated so it is lower risk than the local machine.

I think more important than which distro to choose is you setting up remote access for yourself. Tailscale and maybe rust desk or something would be a good idea. Or if you want to go further a vpn connection to a KVM device, some of them support being able to wire into the power button so you have full control. I would also have their account info in your password manager. Then you don't need them to remember anything because you can do it when needed.

I just googled that model number and "Linux support". The first result was the Brother website for driver downloads, which does include packages for linux.

This video has a similar discussion about the C++ programming language vs other programming languages that are theoretically better. https://youtu.be/I7fEsbksKRE?is=T53DqwVNM3ps97JY

The summary: An imperfect solution today is nearly always used over the perfect solution that will arrive at some unknown time in the future. Also momentum is a thing.

I don't appreciate this slander against data. If anything the LLMs are like the holo deck. Can be entertaining/useful but buggy as shit and require stupid amounts of power to operate.

I have been happy with https://batterysharks.com/ . Just keep in mind batteries are heavy so shipping costs are high.

I read that as "Padan Fain" at first glance and was confused by The Far Side and Wheel of Time crossover.

I have always thought that part of his motivation for staying was that, in his view, Picard was such an amazing captain that not staying to learn from him would be a missed opportunity more than having his own command.

I wonder if there is any meaningful relationship between rate of Linux adoption and percentage of games people are actively playing being marked as Steam Deck ready?

I agree with having the server run Proxmox like others have said. Check out these YouTube channels for helpful information/guides:
