Just recently came across a Youtuber by the name of Joe Collins.  He got some very nice videos about using commands in Bash Shell.

Think this weekend I will muck around with getting PLEX on my third rig that runs CentOS 7.
Already manage to configure a samba drive when I was setuping the Minecraft PaperMC server on it.  Made it a tad easier to drop files and backups back and forth among my rigs.

Anyone hyped by the black hole image released earlier? Will write more later... https://eventhorizontelescope.org/

Welp, decided that next year the main rig is going back to an Intel setup (may just nab an used chip, folks always tend to off load when newer chips drop).  Keeping the 1950X and it will be moved over to the 2nd rig and later upgraded when the new TRs drop (I really hope that bandwidth increase helps with CCXs and IFs speeds).  The 1900X will probably be sold off, and the mobo kept as a back up.

You know what really pisses me off? People who like to bash ChromeOS for being such a simple OS that doesn't support many mainstream programs, but they don't realize that the reason that ChromeOS exists is for people who don't do much on their computer that can't be done either in a browser or with an app from the Google Play store. If that's all you have to do on a computer, ChromeOS is easily the best option for that; the fact that it's so stable, fast, and good-looking (and that the hardware is super cheap) is just awesome, especially compared to Windows, Linux, or OS X.
 
TL;DR: ChromeOS is the best OS for web browsing and apps/games that can all be found on the Google Play store. Nothing beats it for pure web browsing.
