minus-squareCorporal_Punishment@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoPart of me would quite like to fuck around installing Linux and creating a home NAS. I used to tinker for hours on our family pc back in the 90s and 00s trying to optimise it/make it work. But now? The other, bigger part simply cant be arsed. Windows 11 just works. It does what I need it to do.
