For your own health and well being, don't snap it in half and put it in the pot of boiling water while standing in the kitchen with your Italian girlfriend?

Sure ain't because TACO is a ballchinian, on account of having no balls at all.

Anecdotally, I have a Baja. Replaced the head gaskets two years ago this past summer. Then past March, I thought the HGs failed again. Waited until summer, bought a cheap Outback to drive around in the meanwhile, then threw a canopy up (I don't have a garage). Pulled the engine and discovered the threads in the aluminum block had failed for one of the head bolts. Drilled it out, threaded it, and popped a steel insert in (Time-Sert kit).

I've owned enough Subarus over the years to love the boxer engines. Won't touch a transverse mounted engine, personally. They're always a pain to work on. Having a bed available, small though it may be, fits my lifestyle perfectly. Until another mfg puts out a small "ute" EV, I'm gonna keep wrenching on the Baja for as long as I can.

We Baja people are a special kind of crazy, though, and are definitely a niche market. I'm not keeping my hopes up.

I've been running Gentoo on my desktop for twenty years (it's survived multiple changes in hardware, even going from Intel to AMD hardware). It's fine for my laptop, too.

But my NAS/media server? KUbuntu. Easy peasy, slap it on there, update regularly, and I don't worry about it.
