Thanks to ZimaBlade for sponsoring this video. I've been doing a lot of testing with the ZimaBlade and ZimaBoard single board servers these days. Here is my video showcasing the ZimaBlade 7700 NAS Kit. It comes with a 2 bay HDD tray, the ZimaBlade, 16 GB RAM, USB C Power adapter, Sata Y cable (so you can hook up both drives), and a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter dongle.

I install CasaOS, Jellyfin, Pihole, and test out the NAS. Check out the video above for all the details. The best thing about the ZimaBlade and ZimaBoard is that they are x86-based machines, NOT Arm-based machines. So, the sky is the limit. You can install Linux, BSD, TrueNAS, Windows, Emulation environments, etc. You can even use them as firewalls/routers if you install OPNsense/PFsense.

I talked about why I can't use Linux on my main PC... but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't. I'm weird and do loads of things that most people do not do (music creation, etc.). Most people will actually be just fine on Linux.

For reference, here is the "Why I can't use Linux," video: youtu.be/c6YDQobJbLc

Linux has gotten so much better, and it's only going to keep going in this direction. So, is it time to switch? Probably. I'm kinda a newb, but I'm going to try to keep this extremely newb-friendly. I think anyone who can install Windows, set up steam, install some games, install Discord, and use their PC can do all that just as well on Linux. We can argue about distros another time. I decided to go with Fedora with Plasma 6. Check out the video for the details.
