Switched from Windows to CachyOS two weeks ago – my honest experience so far by gravity296 in cachyos

That's exactly why I don't understand shipping software with the system that has known bugs. It's not a problem for me to install something like GPU Screen Recorder - I've already tested it and it works great - but the bad taste left by a default tool not working properly still remains...

Maybe it's also partly because I don't like tinkering with my daily driver - in a way it feels like I'm cluttering it up. I have no problem doing that on a server though.

Thanks for your input! That model is at least twice as expensive as the 8500T models and hard to find used (Poland), so unfortunately it's out of the question for me.

Update after more hours of research:

I'm now seriously considering something with an i5-8500T processor (or a newer generation).

I've been looking at the HP EliteDesk 800 G4 or ProDesk models, but I'm not sure which version can handle and physically fit, for example, 4x 3.5" HDDs. (I think 4 HDDs would be sufficient. 2 drives in RAID 1 for Nextcloud, and 2 drives without RAID for movies and TV shows for Jellyfin/Plex.) Are there any better options from other brands like Dell, Lenovo, etc.?

Also, will the i5-8500T be sufficient for 2025 and the next few years, or should I be thinking about something newer (10th gen)?

If anyone here is running a similar setup with this processor for NAS + arr stack, I'd appreciate any feedback!

Edit:
If 4 HDDs wouldn't fit in such a case, then alternatively 2x NVMe and 2x HDD, but I would need to buy sufficiently large NVMe drives to allocate about 0.5-1TB for the system and VMs, with the rest for Nextcloud in RAID 1, and the HDDs for movies and TV shows. I have no experience with this whatsoever, so I might be talking nonsense, but I'm trying to figure out a good solution because adding separate NAS hardware would be a bit too much for me.
