Intel NUC running Linux. Not the cheapest solution but can play anything and I have full control over it. At first I tried to find some kind of programmable remote but now we have a wireless keyboard with built-in touchpad.
Biggest downside is that the hardware quality is kind of questionable and the first two broke after 3 years + a few months, so we're on our third now.
The most common reasons to buy Prusa that I have heard are their 24/7 support, warranty and wanting to support a European company. I'm not entirely up to date with Chinese manufacturers, so things could have changed, but at least in the past Fysetc, Blurolls and even Trianglelab seemed to be on par, or even exceeding, Prusa quality for printers and parts.
This is my wireguard docker setup:

Can reach the webuis from LAN, no other network configuration was necessary. 192.168.1.111 is the server's LAN address. The other services are configured very similar to your qbittorrent, and don't expose any ports. Can't promise it's 100% correct but it's working for me.
Do you know how to check for bowden gap, and how to hot tighten the hotend/nozzle in order to prevent it?
Hope you decided to buy neither of the two in the end, since Flashforge is also known for being anti-consumer and their shady business practices. Out of the two I'd actually go with Bambu Lab if I didn't care about openness and modding, since their printers at least seem to have fairly good quality.
I admit this is speculation, but I got the impression that Prusa is moving away from open source because they're salty about other companies cloning their products and selling them much cheaper than the "original" parts. Proprietary parts, patents, etc. is of course worse for the user than a fully open ecosystem, but he isn't necessarily going full anti-consumer.
As long as they are talking about normal things and not playing D&D 😃
My paranoia level: Even though I'm pretty good with computers in general, I would not trust myself to set up a safe public facing service, which is the reason that I don't have any of those on my home server. If I needed something like that I wouldn't self host it.
The question is probably more related to what he has done rather than what he is doing right now, and he is kind of famous for having created Linux in the past. To someone who doesn't know anything about Linux licenses I think it would be easy to suspect that Torvalds might have some kind of ownership of his creation.
If you're using Pipewire, have you checked if you can re-route the audio sink using qpwgraph?
It was surprisingly difficult to find, the majority of comments about 6.3 were people saying it was working great, but I guess most people don't use ICC profiles for their monitors.
