There is a big difference between being angry and acting on that anger.
There are a lot of people who are just as angry as what you are describing, but don't act on it and don't take it out on those around them.
The anger is not the issue, its the lack of self control.
You don't have the right to make the people around you miserable, just because you are angry.
When people are walking on eggshells around you, it is because they are scared, because you have hurt them before, and they don't want to be hurt again.
I'm a Linux sysadmin. I was issued a Windows laptop. But I have been allowed to add a second NVME drive to it that has Debian 12 installed. So Debian 12 has been my main working environment.
I also have a desktop in my cube running Windows.
I rarely boot my laptop to windows. But if I need to do something with modifying Windows smb shares or active directory I just remote into my Windows Desktop. I'm also running a ssh server on my windows desktop so about half of my windows active directory work is done via powershell over ssh.
If you have room in the Optiplex for another drive I would definitely get a second spinning drive for storing your media. Truenas will complain about you only having 1 drive for your media. The nice thing about having a pair of drives in a mirror is that is makes it very easy to upgrade in the future. I was running a pair of 6tb drives, until my brother gave me the 10tb ones. I just shut the system down and swapped one of the 6tb for a 10tb and booted it back up. It detected that the mirror was broken and I just told it to use the 10tb drive to fix it. A few hours later after it was done, I did it again with the other drive and then told it to expand the storage to 10tb.
If you want to get a 4tb, you could mirror that to the 1tb, (and you would be limited to 1tb) but you would have redundancy and it would be easy to swap the 1tb for a 4 in the future.
If I were you I would do what I did with proxmox. Install it on the ssd. Create a virtual machine for the Nas with a smaller vitrual disk from the 512gb ssd, 60Gb should be fine, and pass it your graphics card for the media server and the sata drives for your Nas storage and media storage.
Then you have your Nas that you can use as a media server and you can also easily spin up new virtual machines to play with or test with.
I have another vm that I use just for docker containers.
I would install truenas scale on the optiplex and run plex or jellyfin as a app from truenas.
Adding a second large drive for redundancy would be good, also a smallish ssd for the truenas os to run from.
My personal setup takes this level deeper.
I have a desktop computer running proxmox. proxmox is installed on a nvme drive.
I have a VM running truenas that I have passed my sata controller to. So my 2 10TB sata drives and my 500Gb sata ssd show up as native drives in truenas. The 10tb mirror holds my media library and long term backups.
The 500gb ssd is for running apps on trunas like plex, syncthing.
I'm a dad and I love spending time with my kids. I absolutely don't want them to ever feel obligated to hang out with me or buy me a card or present or anything because of some bullshit holiday.
My wife is on all the normal social media, insta, Facebook and such, and has such high expectations for mothers day because it seems to have become some sort of requirement to make a post bragging about what your family did for you on mother's day.
I hate it all so much.
I spend time with the people I love and I frequently tell them how much I love them and do things to demonstrate it too.
mother's day, father's day, valentine's day and Christmas gift giving expectations can all go fuck right off.
We may be part of a simulation. Our entire universe may be a microscopic component of a much larger one. We may be weird 3 dimensional beings living on a planet inhabited by beings living in other dimensions that we cannot perceive. Their actions may affect our lives.
There are so many possibilities, I don't think it would ever be possible to truly know anything for certain.
I don't know for sure what I am, where I am, or why I am. But I am.
Other people and animals seem to have this same knowledge of their own existence. So I try to treat all humans and animals as I would like to be treated.
We don't know if we have a purpose but being kind, helping others, spreading joy and finding peace in beauty and love seems to be a pretty good way to go for me.
Until you have dozens of them... Lol.
There's an old saying: "If I owned Hell and Texas, I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell."
It'd be cooler anyway.

It's Debian all the way down

The guy says he couldn't get a job at McDonalds due to lack of exerience.
Thats your problem dude. I can't imagine a company hiring someone for a six figure job who has zero work exerience.
Get a helpdesk job for little while while you keep applying.
That was my first thought too.

actually opposite?
A cult is a thing, the opposite is not a thing. You can't name not a thing.
It's just everyone else doing whatever they want.
Tell me more.
Only the Salux brand though. I've gotten knock off ones that were way too smooth.
yep bullshit holidays.

It will also print the exit code of the last command in red above the prompt, if the exit code is not 0.

Interesting. I just imported a Debian cloud image.
