Has anyone used Wimps here? Windows is comfortable for me and this looks like an easy way to set up a home media server serving my smart tv and torrenting. What are your experiences?

Never used it, don’t trust random github repos with only 3 stars, and I don’t feel comfortable using turnkey solutions or “configuration scripts”. I am a firm believer in the maxim that configuration is a deeply personal thing. Therefore, I would not use someone’s configuration scripts because they are configured as he wants it, not as I want it.
Running Docker Desktop on Windows is not exactly hard. And once you have docker desktop running, it is not exactly hard to run whatever other software / media server you might like.
Windows is my primary workstation OS because I am legally blind and Windows has the best on-screen magnifier on the market. No other product, whether commercial or free, whether standalone or baked into the WM, comes even remotely close. So I use Windows. But within Windows, I leverage both WSL and Docker to run linux tools properly. All of my remote servers are linux. My home server is linux. More than half of my virtual machines are linux.
Man I’m a fucking moron.
“Legally blind, what an odd way to describe not caring about law and piracy”
I would submit that there is a distinction between not caring and not being aware of something. Therefore, ‘legally blind’ would indicate someone is not aware of something, and not not caring about that something.
If I said I’m legally apathetic, that would imply I don’t care about law and piracy.
