When you like to tinker with the DE, e.g. customising to your liking, then there would be no way around KDE as it is imho the most customizable DE. Gnome is rock solid and its UI is very concise and coherent but also not that customizable (out of the box).

When it comes to the Amazon and Snap Scandals, you might want to steer clear from everything that is Ubuntu based since it was Canonical who did those two things. Ubuntu based is for example Mint (unless you go Linux Mint Debian Edition which skips the ubuntu middle man) and Kubuntu.

HDR is afaik still maturing in Wayland: https://arewewaylandyet.com/

But Multi Screen support is not a big issue anymore.

nVidia used to be a problem since their opensource and also proprietary drivers were quite lacking. But this was afaik remedied last year.

Regarding the packages: yes in essence you could just install it afterwards, but there are three/four/five package formats that are only compatible with each other after some repackging has been done, one of those package formats only exists on one branch of Linux (snap), twos are universal (AppImage which is similiar to portable Apps in Windows, Flatpak) and three that are fundamental (DEB for debian based systems, RPM for IBM red hat (fedora), ZST for Arch based systems)

With your software list, you may run into issues regarding Photoshop CS6 as it is not supported in Linux and you would need alternatives (which includes relearning workflows) e.g. Krita and GIMP (both you can already run in windows to check them out and learn a bit)

Gaming is simple: check protondb.com to see if a given game runs in linux; steam exists, lutris exists for non-steam games.

Why do try to ban Linux mentions? Linux doesn’t show ads unlike Windows 10+ so their ad campaign is useless on Linux therefore malicious in their eyes.

But which good word are we going to spread?

I have never heard of terminator.

Do you mean the previews of files in your file browser (dolphin, nemo, nautilus, thunar)?

good thing that you can learn skills.

You could have not using ai slop to illustrate your post.

Better just start dual booting. If you begin to use Windows less and less, you can throw away that Windows partition and expand your Linux partition.

I sadly do not know how to do it in truenas.

Have you bind your audiobook directory to the containers /audiobook directory?

What format are your audiobooks?

Have you tried uploading one via the GUI?

Perhaps it’s a permission issue (e.g. add the user that runs audiobookshelf to the shares group)

How did you set it up? As a docker container or directly under your OS?
