Comment on Desktop Linux is now inevitable. Here's why.

I’d like to see all Windows users (on x86-64) who don’t absolutely need Windows try Linux.
Linux is what I’d be running if I had an Intel Mac. Linux support of Apple silicon is sketchy at best, though I’ve heard progress is being made. I don’t see a good reason to dump macOS for Linux, but with Windows, it is absolutely a good drop-in replacement you can also run alongside Windows while you decide.
I kinda want to get a gently used x86-64 desktop workstation to turn into a small server. 100% it will run Linux. I won’t run Windows in my home.

Look for a small form factor business PC like a Thinkcentre. They are small, quiet and don’t use a lot of power. They are great for home servers as long as you don’t need a bunch of hard drives. You can still find used ones at decent prices.
