Don't know what Windows does differently, but usually you can configure it on the monitor directly using the monitor's buttons and OSD. Search for something like "Stretching" or "Scaling", etc. and disable it. This should result in the monitor putting whatever it gets in the center.

Some strict mail servers even blacklist you if the DMARC record is missing.
with 1PB of storage
As data hoarder this is a goal to achieve :)
What’s the main advantage of having a huge server, compared to an average Synology NAS for example?
You can do much more things much more efficient. If you're out for a NAS, get a DiskStation, even the simple ones with 2 slots are absolutely fine. Get a Seagate Exos X20 with 20 terabyte of storage, or 2 of them for a RAID, and you're good to go. Or build something yourself with an external case and a Raspberry Pi.
Why should I get a homelab instead of a regular NAS?
Right now I'm using Docker and I'm hosting an ActivityPub server and a front-end (client) for it, a web server, a Minetest gaming server, a web Git platform and a custom application for some specific logging i'm doing. The same server also runs a reverse proxy and a Docker management platform. All on one older SOC machine with a recycled 1TB SSD. I couldn't do this with just a NAS, even if the DiskStations are (were?) very "hackable".
If you want to do anything more than just providing files via network, build a custom setup that fits your needs.
The reality that OpenOffice is dead since a decade aside and you only want to try it for experiment reasons and not for actually using it: What happens instead? Do you get any error messages? Try running it from a shell and see if you get any useful output.
Its not very actively developed but maintained.
Enough for me.
Nothing beats the Arch wiki, to be honest. One of the best and broadest collections of useful information around the web. And since Arch is not-too-modified in relation to upstream, all of the information is usable for ~~most~~ a lot of other distributions, too.
And yes: I’m using Arch, btw.
To be more specific: I’m running Arch with Hyprland (a tiling compositor for Wayland) on my DELL XPS 13 without any issues, running Arch with Openbox (X11) on my main computer since over a decade without any major issues (device is used for gaming, multimedia, video and image editing and screen recording), and on all devices I serve something from.
Since I run Arch as a server (had it as communication server, as DHCP/DNS server, as VPN endpoint on a Raspberry Pi, and as a gaming server, currently on my main server it’s used as host for a Docker setup), I can tell you, you don’t need to worry about any real issues regarding stability and performance. Arch is way less bleeding edge as non-Arch users think. Just update regularly every 2-3 weeks at least, and check the news before doing so.
I’m curious to hear about your experiences and recommendations!
It boils down to what effort you want to put into it.
If university and work usage is mainly running productivity stuff like some type of text processing or using web-based applications you likely won’t ever have any issues. If you’re constantly switching environments, need to run specific apps (maybe even 32-bit software), constantly use different video outputs, tons of different BT devices, etc. … well … Arch is of course capable of everything the bigger distributions have to offer by default (all the nice “magic” stuff that happens automatically in the background), you just need to set everything up by yourself.
I might be biased towards Arch, but maybe just try if it fits your intended purpose and if you’re willing to set up everything at least once before using it.
Does the handyman permanently live in all of them?
That's valid. But, for example: You don't need a dozen of different houses.
It's in the internet! This HAS to be true.
No person should be allowed to own more residential property than they're realistically need for living.
Incognito is only good for one reason: Not having those sites in the browsing history.
