At a lot of places that's not a question of choice.

Aaand if they allow downloading select files, it's most probably not encrypted either.

Important clarification: snapshots only make backups faster if you do backups with zfs send, or with other filesystems they have the appropriate command too.

Yeah, except you can check what it does, how it works, and make changes to it.

updates that don't require a restart

I'm a huge Linux fan but that wasn't my experience. My experience was apps getting borked by attempting to load the updated versions of libs and communicating with a half-updated system where they don't understand each other. For example with KDE I often had the experience that after updating packages, even the shutdown and similar buttons don't work in the start menu. They were doing nothing, and when I looked at system logs, I have seen some failure with starting that confirmation overlay with the countdown. But similar experience with Firefox too.

Somehow it does not happen on my laptop, even though I use the same distro and still KDE. But on the desktop it was predictably happening, and the worst part was that I was still new with how a desktop works (technically) on Linux so I could not even troubleshoot it, while the system was actively falling apart. By the way, I still don't know what the fuck was happening, or how would I diag it.

I have stable ~950 MBit/s to the NAS with Cat5e. That's ~115 MB/s. If that 40 is to a machine on the LAN, either there is some bottle neck at one of the ends, or there's some problem with the cable to the RJ-45 jacks.

It's not weird when they are saying weird things and you want to find out about their motives.

Not in the toilet

Each of which depend on chrome and google's decisions.
