Note I do run other home audio related apps on the PC as well including dbpoweramp for ripping CDs (cd drive connects easily when needed) and manual tagging, Picard for auto tagging, and Audacity for digital mastering. All Windows based programs I’ve used for years. File backups are also easy to set to help avoid data loss. There are others I could use as well. Windows or IOS tend to be the most familiar OSs for most home users. Roon is the main reason I upgraded to the NUC but there is more to do than just that. I have no interest personally in a Roon proprietary device or OS at this point.
