I’m in the same boat as you and never found anything for Samsung tizen os. Smarttube is android based only and anything streamed to a Chromecast still has ads.

Edit: okay I thought let’s search one’s more. And there is tizentube did not try it yet but seems promising

I use ardour as DAW, but only for recording on Linux. It’s also available for macOS and windows. So you can check if it fits your work flow.

I mostly only use Linux, but sometimes you just need a program with out support. In my case it’s sometimes qlab, Linux show player is great(and I have used it for many shows). But it’s not feature compatibel with qlab

Even if something like proxmox or a Debian install with docker is more customizable. It’s a steep learning curve.

But isn’t something like truenas scale a option? I run Emby(as my media Server) and the arr’s on it. All the apps are already in the “software store” including plex. And setup of the arr’s is just the same as normal. All installs are basically automatic.

I easy passthrough my intel gpu in the config page on the webportaal, but don’t how easy it is for Nvidia or amd. Especially with Nvidia due to drivers. But maybe someone here knows?

2025 is going be the year of cheap hardware. A lot of people will just buy new computers/laptop’s.

I’m helping some people already with setting up Linux. But most average users will not set up Linux. It’s just to scary.
