Just FYI, use Monado for VR, SteamVR is a massive pile of trash on Linux.

Corporate nets use 802.1X authentication, risk of a DHCP hijack is very low.
As someone who works in large corporate networks, we absolutely don’t assign static IPs outside of core network gear, it’s impossible to manage a fleet of servers in this way with scaling in mind.
Instead of doing a manual action in two different places and having to keep them in sync, just do it once on the DHCP server. Setting a static IP on the server is superfluous.
good general advice until you have to try to explain to your SO the VPN is required on their smart TV to access Jellyfin.
don’t do this, use DHCP reservations instead so you actually have a list of all your servers and most routers register hostnames in DNS for you which is even better.
I run an RPi4 at 4k30 and it does well.
In my opinion it definitely is, parsec is missing features on Linux.
A modern RPi can run it pretty well with hardware decoding. Also something like an nvidia shield.
Pretty much any wireless AC AP from the last 10 years can hit those speeds with no headache, no keys, and no Windows.
An AP is just a WiFi point, you can use pretty much any AP with your pfsense router.
That’s what most of us do, using this windows VM just for WiFi is only going to cause you a headache in the future.
Maybe a stupid question, but isn’t it just easier to get a secondhand AP on eBay or something than deal with this windows WiFi BS?
You ask about future proofing but Windows 10 is EoL in 8 months.
Pretty sure samba won’t do anything if you haven’t configured it. Make sure you do some basic setup first:
Highly recommend wlxoverlay for monado, for me SteamVR overlay never has a working desktop view so I can’t see my monitors.
It’s been broken for years and valve will never fix it: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/426
