I’m planning on moving (back) to Linux from Windows, but I’m not sure which desktop environment I want to use. What’s the easiest way to try them all out? Just do a bunch of dnf/apt installs? Is there a distro or project out there that makes this easier?...
I would spend the money on smart switches before smart outlets. I personally find that I want smart control over almost all of my lights/ fans but only some of my outlets.
Another reason for my avoidance of smart outlets is they are much more expensive than smart plugs and it’s rare that you want to control both plugs in an outlet anyways.
As far as wiring if you want window/ door sensors or motion sensors you might consider running power to those locations. Much better than changing button batteries constantly.
Use conduit to future proof any network cables you run…
Does anyone know if there are examples like this. I want to get a notification system in HA. It needs to be able to send the right notification at the right time on the right device....
Easy way to try out a bunch of different DEs?

Mandrake Linux 10.0, from 2004. They still work too. Had to buy them on disc, slow dialup internet in those days. (mastodon.africa)
