Unifi is good hardware for security, but it’s ok hardware for privacy. They require cloud connectivity for setup, and it incessantly checks in with their cloud, even though cloud account is disabled. Pfsense is an amazing solution but I chose unifi for convenience and availability of hardware (particularly WiFi access points).
I just switched to Ubuntu from windows 11. Minecraft bedrock was a bit of a project, jackbox games and rollercoaster tycoon were a breeze. I had to disable secure boot and some other things in my bios. Most of my other bumps were very easily googleable, and I actually found the post operating system process better than a fresh windows install (video card drivers, network drivers etc). I have worked in tech for a long time though so ymmv.
