Mostly hallucinate and tell you you’re absolutely right

I get that, but I don’t even mean it in that sense. A corporation should not have any control over what I do whatsoever unless I’m their employee.

Even if you’re morally opposed to the various things this addresses, it is so immensely concerning and unwise to want a corporation to have this much control over your actions, daily life, and liberty.

I don’t think enough people talk about that.

Ah yeah that could be it too. I saw all the community scripts and decided that was too much tinkering til I’m back in the Linux world lol

I’m a rookie back in the Linux world after 15 years in windows hell, but Proxmox is hard if you’re new to Linux. I didn’t have the patience. I’d install mint on the nvme itself, let it get going, see if anything persists. Best of luck!
