Sieht der wirklich ais wie aus einem Animationsfilm oder hat der da einen Großhirn-Filter oder sowas?

Okay, let's play this game :D Mint, because it's frickin easy and fulfills all my needs while being stable enough for my work laptop

My 2 cents on cases: you really need to check the sizes of your gpu, psu (if non is built into the case, then check the wattage) and cpu cooler. I've built 3 mini itx builds so far. one in a custom case, one in a fractal design core 500 (pretty large, but fits 2 3.5" and a 5.25", large GPU and ATX PSU. That's my homeserver sitting under the desk) and one in a NZXT H1 v2 (v1 had issues with the riser). The latter is very thought through, building in it was straight forward and easy.

Who should clean cities and subways from dropped food then? Rats?

I still prefer it, HDDs aren't free and I personally really can't tell the difference (my TV kinda sucks anyway)

Your old stuff is most likely in x264 video codec, while, especially at the higher resolutions, x265 / HEVC and in rare cases AV1 are the standard today. But it also depends on the specific release how many streams (like audio tracks, subtitles) are included

For the remote management, either a VPN to your parents network or exposing (e.g. Cloudflare Tunnel)

And that's the job of the government, imo. Regulate the shit out of the free market, force the manufacturers to not use the worst things possible

I got one with a Chromecast 4K - when Stadia was announced to shut down, Google refunded the whole bundle. Both are still in use and were basically free

Uhm yes? You bought it, it's yours. You made the decision to buy something that contains plastic or is wrapped in it or whatever, that's where the responsibility went to you.

Kind of a cool hobby, you will have your problems in the begging but as soon as everything is set up stable, it is quite convenient. I personally use openmediavault (Debian based) as my host OS and Docker containers for all services I host. I can highly recommend Jellyfin for your own media streaming service
