Fair enough. Seems to be working, so thanks again!

Giving this a try, thanks. I notice in the comments someone said something about Cloudflare’s ToS being limited to HTML and makes it sound like serving video through the tunnel could mean getting charged. I’m hosting movies on this Jellyfin server, so I guess I should be concerned?

KDE connect is a must-have on all my devices. I mainly use it for quick file transfers but other plugins occasionally.

Everyone’s made good suggestions, but I wanted to throw out there that I just recently learned Kubuntu actually has been making its own line of custom-made laptops for a while, called Focus. There’s a few different models, and IIRC one or two configurations are below $1000. You’ll definitely save a buck by going with Windows-first options, but if you want to support Linux that’d be one way of doing it.
