Like the others, I suggest you stick to a distro designed for desktop use (Ubuntu, Fedora etc), you’ll have a much easier time.
If you really want to go with something closer to “scratch made” I’d recommend Arch. Its documentation is killer and you can build a system suited to your requirements.
You should try out KDE in a Live CD. The snapping and tiling features work very well, Windows needs to catch up
It is paid for, with your time ;)
Higher end cable testers can show you where the break is, but it will be far more expensive that a new cable.
And if you’re looking for a way to simplify the setup process: borgmatic
It depends how valuable your data is, what backup strategy you have, and how long you’re prepared to wait to get access to your data when a drive fails.
Personally if/when I migrate my main dataset to SSD, I’ll stick with RAIDZ2/RAID6.
I came to Arch for the customisation, I stayed for the AUR
KDE can already do any arrangement of tiling though?
It sounds like this software was made to address a problem that exists in Windows, poor window management options. Although with Win11 it’s been significantly improved.
Have a look into tiling window managers, or tiling add-ons for major desktop environments. You can split windows in all different arrangements without any extra software or splitting inputs.
Personally I’m using KDE and it’s built in tiling options work very well.
I’m not very familiar with that software, what features does it have that you want to use?
I’ve seen a few people recommending paperless-ngx

Install Windows Subsystem for Linux and pretend windows doesn’t exist
The way I justify self hosting is that every device I use it on has an offline backup so downtime isn’t overly important.
This is an interesting problem and probably one I will run into when I eventually divide my LAN into multiple vlans.
Unless traffic can be filtered based on hostname then the only solution I can think of is to run two instances of the proxy/ingress controller.
If you’re prepared for headaches at the start then switching over to a ingress controller is the way to go.
95% of my services run on a single IP address over Https with a valid certificate. I can add as many services as I want without worrying about IP conflicts or invalid certificates.
Arch, nothing beats the availability and ease of installing packages from the AUR
I use Arch because it makes installing almost any software package trivially easy via the AUR and if you run into issues, the wiki is there to help.
