I’ve been using the recent versions of GIMP and it’s surprisingly usable. Of course tools are a bit different and in different places compared to Photoshop, but that goes for any software.

This. Have it explain and cite sources. Tools have uses, but you must know how to use them.

What do you mean separately?

Well, containerization can mess with GPU acceleration if you want to use Immich’s auto-description-whatever-function. Also mind that docker runs as root, so don’t just spin up random containers from unknown sources.

Try just using Wireguard and troubleshoot from there

Troubleshooting wireguard is a pain in the ass, it using UDP and all that.

idk about tautulli, and immich can be taxing depending on what you enable I think, but everything else is lightweight. Anyway, did you manage to set up the mountpoint? After that if you run *arr apps, those are likely in docker/podman so you’ll have to add the directory to their configuration.yaml

the arch wiki is a great resource for this kind of thing:

• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Samba#As_mount_entry
• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Samba#Manual_mounting

But why aren’t you running sonarr on your NAS instead?

Ok, two things:
1 - Do you NEED to map them? Or do you just need to access them? If they were previously shared with Windows, that means they are SMB shares, which on most file managers can be accessed via the network section or by writing smb://<user>@<address> in the location bar. This doesn’t work perfectly all the time, for example if you want to drag and drop a file from the share onto a browser upload page, it usually doesn’t work.
2 - Have you successfully mounted them with mount already?

It’s fun. I installed Jellyfin because I’m not always at home and I don’t always have good connections available, so downloading a 4k movie from my NAS is not an option.

Also it infuriates me when THINGS don’t do what I want them to. They’re things and they should adapt to me, not the other way around.
