Anti-DDOS, eh?
You lost me there. There is no self-hosted anti-ddos solution that is going to be effective… Because any decent DDOS attack, can easily completely overwhelm your WAN connection. (And potentially even your ISP’s upstream(s) )#
But, it has no network connectivity! That is against God’s will.
(Thus, no telemetry either)
Very interesting os though. Lots of very cool concepts
Not a clue.
Maybe they like the pretty dashboard pihole has.
I use vlans to work with it.
unbound as a DNS filter and resolver
Its… worked as a recursive resolver, with filtering/blacklist features for years now?
Proton* Proton is the way. Granted, proton uses wine… but, makes getting games running nearly effortless is the majority of cases.
Also, has a nice website, protondb.com, which tells you how well / if a game works on linux.
I built a homemade one. 2.4kwh of capacity.
Should be good for a few decades easily.
Wouldn’t call it cheap. But, it will be around for 15 or 20 years.

As long as you don’t break it, things will be just fine!
But, the second you break it, it’s going to be a long night for you, with lots of pain.
All of the same emulators you use on windows, works in linux too.
Although, I have honestly not emulated anything newer then a ps2/wii, so, I cannot speak to the switch.
But, https://dolphin-emu.org/ can do gamecube/wii effortless, and runs native on linux.
Likewise, epsxe runs native on linux too. https://www.epsxe.com/download.php
A few years back, I built a HTPC for streaming games to my Livingroom TV.

This PC has long since been repurposed, into a part of my server rack… but, it did its job wonderfully well. It ran Manjaro.
Now, one cool thing I did, is setup multiple “desktop environments”. IE, I could either load into retroarch, or a desktop environment just by selecting it at the boot screen.
Retroarch, would hands down, be my preferred way to emulate on linux, as it consolidates everything into one easy place. however, years back when I did this, I still had to run ps2 separately. But, it did gamecube/wii perfectly.
It’s very effective.
Just try not to mess up your xorg.conf.
That typically ends in pain.
Manjaro. Its a “user-friendly” version of arch.
Have also used Kbuntu.
Both worked well.
Well, my wife’s gaming PC ran linux for the last few years. And, as a non-technical person, she never noticed, nor had issues playing games.
My method was easy.
Completely removed and eradicated windows, and forced myself to adapt and learn Linux.
Used it for gaming and everything. No regrets.
Its only a problem when you get the electric bill! (Or the wife finds your ebay receipts)
That, is a pretty good deal. Better start picking up some MD1200s!
