just want to throw in here that I made an all ssd nas from my old hardware. its running truenas scale.

awesome, truenas is actually what I had in mind (runs on freebasd), good choice
did it take you long to setup?
I was actually thinking of compiling them without visual studio and using a separate text editor on linux
wine "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community/MSBuild/Current/Bin/MSBuild.exe" MyRhinoPlugin.csproj
but I don’t know if I wouldn’t bite a bullet and just use a virtual machine given that visual studio/jetbrains also let you check for errors and debug and setting this up may be very hard/practically impossible

truenas scale is actually linux. the old truenas was FreeBSD but they moved away from that.
It sets up very quickly. I just recommend watching some tutorials before. not for the install but more for how to set up your groups, users and permissions. setting up the pool is also simple. but only watch the recent tutorials since a lot has changed with the latest updates.
it also has a really great app eco system. there really is a lot you can run on your system. it really is then more than just a nas. I currently only have “Stirling PDF” running but there is so much more usefull stuff especially for office use. Paperless-ngx and Syncthing is what I want to try next.
The CPU is a Ryzen 5700G, 4x 2TB NVMe SSDs (that makes six useable terrabyte in the ZFS pool), all directly attached to the CPU and one SATA SSD for the OS. Only 30 Watts idle, which is pretty good for a NAS with a proper desktop CPU

oh true, I guess linux got so many cool new features over the years that it warranted transition (I’d bet containers played a role)
exactly, there are so many apps to explore now. Syncthing can be very useful (although be careful if exposing a machine to the internet).
Since this is the closest thing to a place to make bug reports, I thought I’d mention a behavior that I’m now running into for the first time. For some reason referencing a geometry from Rhino into a gh Parameter by right clicking on the Parameter container doesn’t work at the moment on wine. Additionally, it seems hovering over a component or its inputs or outputs to peek at the information there.
Right clicking on the inputs or outputs of an actual Component still works - so I can reference in geometry by placing a Component, right clicking on the input and selecting from the “Set” options. Then I can “Extract Parameter.”
But a lot of the feedback you’re used to - and that until recently I was getting in grasshopper on wine has mysteriously disappeared.
I’m running i3 on Debian. Later I’ll try to see if it’s still broken on Gnome too, but I wanted to share that.
hmm do you mean like this

Yes, although I checked - running it in Gnome works perfectly. I should poke around and see if there’s been any progress in getting sway to work with NVidia cards yet. I love TWM’s and can’t ever go back. When I started using them I had to go with i3 just because Sway was incompatible / a PITA with NVidia proprietary drivers. But the limitations of a 30 year old pile of kludgy legacy code can really be as much of a pain…
Edited to add: For a while the viewport regen issue was occurring in Gnome too, but that seems to have been fixed - this looks and acts flawlessly. (Other than wine’s annoying antiquated file manager interface.)
no worries, I imagine that i3 and other X11-based window managers are only going to get worse from now on, other options are KDE with new krohnkite tiling window manager addon (was able to use wine with nvidia prime offload at least) or maybe hyprland?
