Reddit is dead to me, and given their stance on their apis, should be dead to pretty much all hobbiests deeply interested in self hosting.

I'd recommend against it. Apple's software ecosystem isn't as friendly for self hosting anything, storage is difficult to add, ram impossible, and you'll be beholden to macOS running things inside containers until the good folks at Asahi or some other coummity startup add partial linux support.

And yes, I've tried this route. I ran an m1 mac mini as a home server for a while (running jellyfin and some other containers). It pretty consistently ran into software bugs (less maintained than x64 software) and every time I wanted to do an update instead of sudo whateveryourdistroships update, and a reboot, it was an entire process involving an apple account, logging into the bare metal device, and then finally running their 15-60 minute long update. Perfectly fine and acceptable for home computing, but not exactly a good experience when you're hosting a service.

The only sector that might be worse is middle management data processing like the Healthcare sector. Doing a pointless job like that all day every day is soul sickening.

Wait... You want us to pay humans? - Every triple A gaming company since 2010.

Part of this is Apple's fault. They were part of the head council of the Kronos group responsible for Vulkan, but chose to implement a proprietary graphics API (Metal) over just rolling Vulkan.... Developers obviously don't want to support an additional graphics library on top of what they already do (significant effort) so you lose a lot of games that would've been otherwise marginally expensive to port over.

A full year of multi month hikes across the world. I want to see it all and meet new people.

Yeah. Microsoft has definitely cornered the market on corporate education for sysadmins.

Linux supports active directory natively and can be joined to a windows hosted active directory domain. It supports centralized policy management as well and in addition there's a completely open source implementation in: https://www.openldap.org/ supported by RedHat.

Nothing forever will feel oh so fast when you lose any frame of reference.

Should probably read things before chiming in. At least, if they're pivotal to the conversation.

There's more money flowing through linux systems than you can even imagine. It's an incredibly lucrative target that runs approx 85-90% of all internet service servers.

I pasted some links, but the DoE says groundwater will most likely be contaminated. Depends on who you trust and how willing you are to suffer radioactive contamination. Granted, it's probably a better risk profile than say... Coal... But that doesn't change the fact we have no good longterm plan to store any amount of radioactive waste, and if history is your teacher, a plan will most likely not come to fruition.
