Mostly I just use nextclouds deck extension. It behaves close enough to what I need as a solo operation.

Others have said this, but it’s always a work in progress.
What started out as just a spare optiplex desktop and needing a dedicated box for Minecraft and valheim servers, to now having a rack in my living room with a few key things I and others rely on. You definitely aren’t alone XD
Regular, proactive work goes a long way. I also stated creating tickets for myself, each with a specific task. This way I could break things down, have reminders of what still needs attention, and track progress.
I have a much simpler setup though. Just a ‘smart’ TV and a sound bar I paid about $200 for so nothing fancy.
Not actually looking for advice, just a thought experiment of quick, easy and cheap fixes.
I’ve always wanted to try putting something like a guitar compressor pedal in the audio chain just to normalize the peaks. My wife will find something to watch, but ends up spending half the time adjusting the volume, or just turning on subtitles.
Xerox has been great for me. They dont just make giant copiers you need a forklift to deliver and a giant service contract. They still make small home office desk printers.
After wiring up to my network and giving it a static, it’s just worked, for all devices for everyone. No need to download or install anything either.

That’s my gold standard. I’ve used just about everything under the sun. They’ve all failed, except this one. I have a few of these now. They’ve survived all kinds of punishment. Hell even being left in my pocket and going through several wash/dry cycles.
I have an upcoming contender if it keeps going, and it’s a Kingston Lexar. 128gig I use mostly for work. All metal housing, no moving parts and attached to my keychain. It’s not been wash/dried yet. But it goes with me every day. And it’s used nearly daily too.
Edit: Nvm, just looked at right now, my keychain drive is also Lexar, so NVM, Lexar all day 'er day.
To be fair, there is and has been a KDE spin. I can see an argument for gnome, as it’s overall the simpler environment. Simple defaults has been fedoras thing for a long time.
It’ll look the same to normies lol
Generally depends on the device. Overall, KDE for desktops, Gnome for laptops. Xfce on older devices.
Can confirm, I’ve been using it for about three years now. With some minimal tweaks for my own us case.
It auto updates itself, can use LetsEncrypt. I’ve had an A to A+ rating from their own security thing. It does usually stay a few minor point releases behind, but that’s never been an issue for me.
I will say, despite some of the reviews, and as an IT guy - set it up on wired lan. And add it as a network IP printer. Apparently the software (USB I’m assuming from reviews) is a sore spot for some. I see it up out of the box on my network and have never had any (non self inflicted) issues.
Edit: no software needed with IP, from any of my devices.
It’s a xerox B230 if you’re interested. It’s small, and as survived cats, a 4yr old and several water spills lol.
I got a small xerox laser. It’s fantastic. Works on everything I’m the house, including phones, tablets, windows and Linux. It’s a bit more eh feature rich than I was expecting, but after tinkering in the settings I’ve not had to touch it in years.
I set mine up with a no-ip dyndns for free. Lots of options here op. But in the long run having any domain is going to smooth out the process. Also don’t skip over LetsEncrypt cert.
Overall good. The only slowness is right after login. After it loads everything it’s pretty responsive. Using the snap version (I know, snap bad. But in this case it was the only way I got it going.).
Self updates,.get email notifications when it updateab
Sticks
Just saying that it kinda reads. Like an ai prompt
