Someone being funny? BUG

Yeah sharks don't like the taste of people but they generally have poor eyesight so they mistake surfers etc splashing on the surface for food or as you say just curious.

AMD has been open source since late 2017?

I use Alpine Linux for all my dockers, small and fast.

Becoming fat/obese

Thats what I did when win 7 support was ending, been very happy and there's no way I'm going back to Windows.

Ah they sold boards with the bugged versions of the i225? Mine had the rev3 chip which is supposed to have fixed the issues with the older revisions.

I have a b650e-i

That's not good, I actively try to avoid realtek cards since they are unreliable in linux. I have an asus board with an Intel nic but I haven't had these issues.

Nope, you have to do the bypass

2.5" disks are SMR, you don't want that in a raid.

Unless you have use case for that much horsepower I would suggest, like others here, buy a mini PC as a start and if you need more down the line buy a second one. They are cheap, fairly quiet and don't use much power.
