Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account
  • If you've got multiple operating systems on one system, that's dual booting! You can also partition a drive to have multiple os's, but that can have slightly more difficulties.

    From last time I tried virtualisation, I needed to assign my graphics card to either the host or the virtual machine, and switching was a hassle. Unless things have changed, I decided booting into windows when absolutely required (anticheat) was the best option - avoiding some of the hassle that comes with virtualisation. If you've got multiple GPUs, that might be an option.

    I think OP is talking about having an application e.g. steam launch on startup, which can be set in Task Manager.

    Performance for virtual machines is honestly not as bad as you'd expect, provided it has reasonable resources allocated and the host isn't being overworked. A GPU passed through will be much more enjoyable than a software/virtual GPU. You can expect 90%+ (perhaps up to 98% or so) of the performance of bare metal.

  • Kind of makes sense - casting is usually a webstream without extra dev effort. I'm not sure if you still can, but I used to circumvent twitch ads by casting from my phone. Not to excuse their shitty behaviour; I gave up on them years ago and started hosting my own content.

  • I installed this same system a few months ago. It's been fantastic - responsive and intuitive. The 5V pin in the CN105 connector means no external power or wiring is required. We haven't touched the remote since it was installed.

  • Sounds like you've done a bunch of research! Since you're using unRAID, setting up your services shouldn't be too difficult.

    For your torrents and VPN, there's a few in the unRAID community store - I'd recommend qBittorrentVPN from Binhex - here's the documentation for setting up their VPN-enabled containers.

    For Headscale, I don't have any direct experience but unRAID has a decent Wireguard plugin, and should get you up and running in a pinch.

    And for your self-hosted services (especially Bitwarden) ensure you're not exposing this on the net, by VPN is the only option I'd recommend. Even so, I prefer to use Bitwarden's hosting with a family plan, for peace of mind and resiliency. It's also much easier for my family.

    UnRAID is a great place to start - it allows you to scale cheaply as you need and is easier to fix mistakes. Good luck, and happy homelabbing!

  • I'm not a parent and have nothing to add to this conversation, but your understanding and thoughtful approach to child development is truly admirable. Best wishes to you and OP.
