I picked up an old Dell server some time ago and wound up finding firmware that made the RAID card passthrough so that TrueNAS could have direct access to disks for ZFS

That server was all SATA based so I’m not sure what options you’ll have, but it’s worth looking into.

Ultimately, my thinking is that just because there’s something “better” out there doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work with what you have.

Windows 10 didn’t “die”

Microsoft isn’t offering support for it, but their help was barely useful to begin with.

There’s a few small hoops to jump through to enroll in the Extended Security Updates program, after which Windows 10 devices will continue to be functional and secure for at least another year.

Ultimately, I’m all for folks going out and dabbling in Linux. Unfortunately, most consumers are interpreting this situation as a requirement to rush out and buy a new Windows 11 PC and that’s bad.

If your CPU supports TPM2.0 and tou set up Windows using a Microsoft Account, your OS Volume is likely to be encrypted with Bitlocker.
