Synology usually just works. If you ask for a diy build, you have to be more specific.

My journey was:
I left Debian for Ubuntu when it simply worked better and left Ubuntu when it became too restrictive and weird. I need a working system but my freedom to experiment. Then I discovered arch and never looked back. Still kept Debian on servers.
Currently using arch on desktop machines and nixos on my servers. But I use nix for Dev environments and dotfiles even on arch.
Not sure if I’ll stay with NixOS but for now that seems like the direction I’m going to. Still love Arch Linux for it’s freedom though, but I’m getting older and don’t have the time to fiddle with everything.
The thing about ansible is to always remember that it really is just a backup python script that gets copied to your server and executed. Yes it works quite well, but you have to be careful to not have break on you.
For me the difference to nix is, that my bud expression will actually always produce the same output or tell me it can’t. Instead of ansible which will fail after some updates went past.
I usually listen to music on YouTube when I’m using a computer. When I play my own music, it’s from my Plex server with plexamp with a phone. I rarely use the plexamp desktop app.
I would never use a 3D printer without auto bed leveling ever again. It’s not expensive to build it into your printer. Every major printer manufacturer has some version of this feature by now. Knobs and manual bed leveling is a thing of the past.
