I know you asked for facts, but as someone who moved from Proton I can at least explain my reasoning. I like to split my services amongst multiple vendors in general. I felt like they were pushing the suite too hard, so I used that as an opportunity to move the couple of services I had with them to different providers.
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with proton, but I like being able to move to a different service without having to move the others.
This is both a pro and con vs Windows, but definitely something to be aware of. There is a ton of information/documentation available. However, because of how flexible Linux is and the sheet number of distros, you may have to sift through a ton of information to find the solution relevant to your issue. This gets easier over time as you settle on the distro(s) and features you like. Filtering out irrelevant information will almost become a sixth sense.
Project was a success! Link now has updated info. Not necessarily a step by step guide, but more about the process and "gotchas" that I came across. Also includes a link to the configuration files I ultimately used.
My install went well, to the point where I was certain I must have missed some steps. I'm going to test some static page hosting on it too. If all goes well it will be my choice for basic web hosting going forward.
Any suggestions? I'm currently playing with fish. Works well on the desktop, but I've tried a couple of android clients and it seems to cause display issues.
Coming from Linux, primarily bash. The extensibility of zsh has me interested. I'm not likely do to a lot of scripting, I'm really looking for a way to efficiently enter commands from a mobile devicee
It's been working well for me. I did settle on thick jails for building a groupware server, and rdp server. They seemed to be work better for the more complex set-ups.
I'd agree it's most likely the cooler, but I've seen odd instances of a faulty motherboard or the motherboard being screwed too tightly to the case causing flexing and/or shorts.
The install from source is just too slow imo. Going to tackle again, but install sogo and dependencies directly. I'll lose the nice admin panel that attracted me to iredmail, but I suspect this will work better overall.
I will say thus far, there's been some minor issues with the install. They're documentation for installing in a jail is based upon ezjail which doesn't seem to have been updated in years. Secondly, I've found that I've had less install issues using a thick jail within cloned ports and source. Finally, install has been much slower than expected as it's installing from source. I plan to see it through to the end to test management, but will likely be testing other options. Likely nextcloud or Sogo directly.
I was thinking of spinning up a vm to test this process. For production I'll definitely wait until version 16 though.

Going to shout out Haven. SSH, RDP, and VNC in a single app, with frequent updates! It's a Net Admin's dream.
Do you live in a highly humid environment? It's rare, but here's an article mentioning it. https://thetechylife.com/how-do-i-stop-moisture-detected-in-charging-port/

There's a mysterious person/killer, that only the protagonist can see.
Excellent resource!

Never really though about the toolkits behind the DE's before... That being said, I'm liking what I'm seeing of lxqt.

With my installationof Sogo, lighthttpd, and mysql, is 5.4GB. This jail is based on 14.4

Is this for home lab stuff, or are you using them for production?

I'm currently playing with bastille for my home lab. Definitely my favorite method vs built-in or appjail thus far.
I know it's generally advised to apply them manually, but I did find this site with a sample script. I haven't personally used it, so please let us know if it is effective or not. https://www.instructables.com/Keep-your-FreeBSD-system-up-to-date/
