Help with NAS choice for Backups and Plex with ability to transcode
I've read this guide which has been helpful. I'm familiar with building a pc, but still want to make sure I build something reasonable if that would be more cost effective in the long run for my use.

Is it sacrilege? Having a separate fast pool/server and archive pool/server
Nope, that's what I do (albeit for a different reason).

why won't my ups turn on?
Can confirm that APC warranty replacement is very quick. 6 days from RMA filing to installing replacement.

NAS Hardware Recs
Wrote a guide for this. Basically start at how much storage you need and work backwards.

Powerline Networking Repeater
At that size you should get your home wired for Ethernet.

Will Mesh WiFi help with 'weak connection' issue?
Get your home wired for Ethernet. Wi-Fi won't be able to cover that well.

Is NTFS viable in a HD for linux games and flie sharing between Linux and Windows?
Alternatively, see this guide for a more secure method to use NTFS and Steam: - https://github.com/FizzleFuze/SteamNTFS/blob/main/README.md

Can I share Steam games files between Windows and Linux? So that I would not need to install same games twice.
Yes, you can use games on an NTFS drive. Here are the instructions. It's not too hard, but you need to do a bit of terminal fiddling.

If I move to Linux, do I need to buy all my games again
You have to properly configure your NTFS drive. It's not too hard. Valve does officially support this for Proton, but the first link is a better way of doing it. It also works for Linux native titles, but really there's no reason to put them on an NTFS drive. Keep in mind, if you reboot between Windows and Linux, you should move any games with native Linux versions to your Linux drive or else Steam will try to redownload the games for their respective platforms every time you switch.

Help needed! Can't play Proton games
you can use ntfs storage , here's the procedure i use to run my games from an old windows ssd : link , i have had zero luck trying to install games on a ntfs drive through lutris. Also to be noted that steam's beta update detects all drives that are not ext4 as well.

The actual migration step of migrating.
For migrating your Steam Library, you can just use the one you have now for the most part. Steam has never done anything fancy with the library, you just add the folder and it'll detect it. If you don't have another hard drive or partition that's formatted as EXT4 to copy them over to, you can mount NTFS with the right permissions to allow it to work. EXT4 is faster and more stable, but this works as a short-term solution, and a solution that allows you to swap back to Windows and keep your games. However, I would recommend moving games that are native over to a Linux partition in that case, because otherwise they will redownload every time you swap between operating systems, and most developers don't set up their depots optimally so you will redownload the entire game rather than just the executable portions.

STEAMOS, uses ext4 for the SD card. Problem for those dual booting with windows 11?
Steam & NTFS: The More Secure Way
- Unable to launch any Windows games from NTFS drive

Proton seemingly randomly stopped working.
Hey, I tried following the link you put before posting this, but to no real avail. However, I tried this link you put in another reply, and games will actually open now!
-
Games stored on alternate drive won't launch.
Just want to add, there's a better way of doing this. Rather than forcing permissions across the board, just using the permissions option tells ntfs-3g to create a little file to track Linux permissions in. More secure and more stable that way.
