You need something other than your ISP provided router, otherwise you’ll be constantly limited by a few basic settings they allow you to change. Check with your ISP if you can use your own router directly, if their routers have a bridge mode or if you can buy an alternative modem that does bridging.
If you want a simple and cohesive ecosystem, Unifi is the one to beat. They offer routers and switches and you can manage them all from a single dashboard.
For an open source router, the best option is OPNsense. Get one of the multi port x86 boxes from Aliexpress (e.g. Qotom) and install it on that.
Personally, I don’t like OpenWRT, but that would be an option to flash a cheap consumer router.
TP-Link offers some great switches, look at their JetStream series. They’re usually a bit cheaper than equivalent Unifi switches as well.
As an anti-recommendation I’ll mention Mikrotik. Their hardware is great and they provide great value, but the UI is extremely confusing for newcomers. It’s all well documented (in the form of terminal commands, but the UI is basically built like that), but you need to know networking before you can find what and how you need to change settings.

Apple just recently made it impossible to install one torrent client from the Alt-store. They’re not any better than what Google is planning.

What did you use to acquire your Spotify music? They cleaned a lot of software that could do that a while ago.

I’d assume you need an admin account for every server and it uses that to create the users.

I like the tab groups. I use them often at work to group an issue with related tabs and my attempts at solving it. Also makes it easier to pause work on one problem and work on something else because I have the tabs grouper and know exactly where to go back.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 4 weeks ago:
Favourites
Witcher 3
Witcher 3 was one of the first “big games” I got to experience. I still think of the characters occasionally and it has some very memorable quests. It’s been on my “to replay” list for a while to see if it still holds up against my memories of it.
Nier: Automata
This is another early “big game” I played, though I didn’t finish it then. I won’t spoil it, but at some point I was up against a boss, way under levelled and didn’t feel like grinding. However I started a new playthrough this year, got further along and it’s still very good. The story telling and world building are simply excellent, combat is fun (except a certain section I won’t spoil) and I really want to see what else happens in my current play through. My only gripe is that keyboard & mouse sucks without an overhaul mode, which unfortunately doesn’t work on Linux.
Other games
I couldn’t think of a third game, so here’s a list of other good games that don’t quite make it.
- Cyberpunk 2077: I like it, but it hasn’t really had as much of an impact as my two favourites.
- Baldur’s Gate 3: Very good contender for my 3rd favourite spot, but I need to play through it a bunch more times.
- Dishonored: I haven’t thought of this game in a while. It’s still very good, just not a contender for favourite.
- Skyrim: One of my higher playtime games, but I see it more as a modded sandbox à la Minecraft that’s fun for 2 weeks.
- Receiver 2: Very neat gun mechanics with an important central message
- 1000xResist: Interesting story and message, though you won’t play this for the gameplay. Some awe inspiring visuals occasionally
