The best one I’ve ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn’t be compatible.

    I need to be able to “RDP” into remote machines

    Remmina, do this every day for work from my Debian system.

    I also need to be able to setup a Hyper-V equivalent, to run other machines from my main laptop

    Virtual box or QEMU + KVM. I use QEMU + KVM, works really well.

    And for my media server (Plex), I need to understand the best way to setup a RAID5 or better across multiple drives.

    Recommend Jellyfin over Plex but in either case - if you want software RAID then use mdadm, this is how the RAID5 array on my jellyfin server works. Otherwise, there are compatible drivers for some hardware with actual hardware RAID5 arrays you can look up if you have such hardware.

    For reference, all my machines whether client or server run either Debian 12 or Debian 13.

      Thanks. I’ve had a lifetime subscription to Plex for more than 10 years and it works well on TVs and such for the few ppl I share it with (they’re all luddites). I also.may have mis-typed, I have a hardware RAID 5 off a ?Perc5 controller, but its NTFS and I would want to switch.
