From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have replaced my amd phenom II X6, 12GB ram and 4 disk raid 10 and a crappy psu desktop, with a topton amd ryzen 5825U with 64 GB ram and 2 TB SSD.
I run proxmox with powertop optimized excluding the ethernet adapters.
This was really a big step forward in performance and because my workloads (nextcloud,homeassistant and vaultwarden) are mostly idle a lot of the time the processor cores can spend in sleep mode conserving power. To be honest i have not used an power measuring device, so my estimation is based on the powertop reported powerconsumption times 2. However in homeassistant the lowest power consumed in the night for my home dropped from 147 watts to about 85 watts.
wow, you are running a lot of things, but in my case, I just need a backup (without cloud) or extra storage because 256 gigs ain't enough if you have videogames. Also, I run Ubuntu 23.04, forgot to mention in the post.
