Welcome! Post any linux questions you got let's help you dive deeper into the linux world. You can spin up a few docker containers to host some services like your own dropbox.

I really like Fedora Workstation because the package versions are newer than Ubuntu based distros. The installer is a little complicated to use though. Watch a YouTube video about it first.
If not, then Linux Mint or Pop OS are the most beginner friendly and stable.
Running ispy within docker - yes, multiple streams of HD - 4K video displaying all and monitoring all for motion 24/7 and recording on motion detect + ispy uses AI motion detection and analysis e.g. 'person'... (more cpu...)
Was running the exact same prior on old dell laptop E6430, it couldn't keep up with displaying 6 cameras @ 10fps each... it displayed with 5-30 second delays. I'm watching realtime on mac pro -
for simple monitoring, you're correct. When you need to see the license plate or face 30' away from the extreme wide angle of a 4K camera, the increased resolution supports enlarging to a clear image. When was the last time you saw a clear cctv single image.?.

Present! Using arch btw!
Me too! Arch and debian are my favorite.
yep, this one's definitely an arch user (also, I use arco, which is arch-based)
I'm subbed, but I don't have a PC running Linux at the moment and am a complete amateur. So... Lurking for me it is.

Ok! I actually have a quick one.
I played around with Ubuntu 7 like 14-15 years ago because it was supposed to be the most noob friendly. Is that still the case?
(I only dual-booted on an old laptop for fun, but I never really touched it again.)

I've switched from base Ubuntu to Pop_os and really like it.
Running linux mint 21 on old 2008 power mac as dvr security cam server - working great except this thing puts out sooome heat 24/7…
I'm not familiar with security cam DVRs, does it really need that much CPU power?

4K security cams? Isn't that overkill? I would think 1080p is plenty. But I don't know what your usecase it. It might be justified.

Makes sense.
A friend of a friend (perhaps of another friend) gave me an old mac, 32 bit, no battery.
After mint quitting 32-bit, I have now mx on it.
During the winters this machine makes a cozy atmosphere...
I just put aside my old iMac running Ubuntu last week. It was barely scraping by. 🪦
Now its all pipelines and cloud instances. #HappyHappyJoyJoy
