This is the first I’m hearing of any issue with it resembling a pentagram, the criticisms I’ve heard involve the design in general not looking professional, not scaling well, and lacking a unique palette.

This logo is really unpopular hence why there is always so much talk of making something cleaner and more professional.

TrueNAS is fine but the dead-simplest I’ve ever seen is CasaOS which has one-click network file sharing.
Exactly. I remember when my favorite teacher said “This is a textbook. Check it out sometime”.
Eh, just because you can’t make a horse drink water is no reason not to lead it there.
Things like what?
This is just the domain name, not the instance itself. If the instance is offline the moderator accounts will be inaccessible even if the domain name is sold.
They’ve been extremely transparent about this:
Balena Etcher is what you want, though AFAIK if you’re making a Windows installer no Linux programs have the convenient options to disable TPM and online account etc that make Rufus so nice.
It’s still a good resource for stuff like that but I’m not contributing to it.
I’ve come to realize the Linux basics are actually a lot easier to learn compared to Windows and MacOS, the hard part is un-learning the old ways and habits of doing things. Like if one day everyone on earth forgot how to use operating systems, I’d bet Linux would probably be the one that catches on. It’s only because we’re so used to the idiosyncrasies of stuff like Windows that it feels more natural.
If it’s not the OS drive it’s prooobably fine.
I welcome competition in the space even if it is imperfect.
The major advantage of a subscription model is that they don’t need most users, just enough to be financially sustainable.
FWIW I really like Zorin, it’s not dramatically different but it is prettier out of the box.
Well said. Also, “tweakability” is ultimately going to be the same for any distro. Like you said the more beginner-friendly ones like Mint just start with some common tweaks already in place.
OP, do you know about GNOME extensions? It’s not something the Jedi will usually tell you about. But it’s a great start to the rabbit hole for newbies.
Confusing Linux with Lenovo is pretty funny.
I have a very similar setup to you, and I use SyncThing without issue for the important files (which I keep in my Documents directory to make it easy to remember).
That’s the user downvoting the copy of the post on their own instance. If OP doesn’t have downvotes then those votes won’t federate.
