Connected a Samsung smart TV to my network when we first got it. The thing damn-near crashed my pi-hole asking for so many ad/tracking domains. Factory reset it later that same day. I think my % of requests blocked went from 15% to 68% in just the 3 hours or so the Smart TV was connected.

I will just put in my 2¢. I maintain 3d printers for a local library and while the 4 mk3s+ machines have been solid the Mini+ has been nothing but trouble.
First we had issues with the extruder, then the Bowden tube kept causing jams. Replaced that but still have a ton of stringing with the default Prusaslicer profiles with every kind of filament we have tried.
And honestly having messed with both, the additional space needed for a "full size" printer is marginal once you factor in the spool holder.
Prusaslicer is amazing. The MK3 is/was great. I don't know how much I love Bambu lab but the Prusa Mini was not great.
Funny you should mention that 
Nonetheless, the Core i9-14900KS should peak around 320W like the Core i9-14900K, if not higher.
Best to look out for the bundle deal with the Mr. Fusion and the dry ice machine.
My big tip is if you haven't already, switch to a local package repository. There are a lot of people mirroring the software packages for mint and you can switch to one that is geographically the closest to you for better speed and to spread out the server load.
I love Linux Mint and it's what I install on all my decom-laptops turned servers. It will do pretty much all you want to do in Windows and then some. The only thing it probably isn't the absolute best for is PC gaming but if you are just using a laptop it probably doesn't make much of a difference either way.
If you like Mint then I also suggest PopOS. They are both based on Ubuntu so a lot of the paths and the package manager are the same. The killer feature there is auto-tiling Windows which is like the window snap feature in windows but happens automatically. It's not for everyone but once I started using it, it changed my entire workflow.
Last thing is, if you haven't already, familiarize yourself with running docker containers. A lot of stuff that's complicated to set up is a breeze with docker and docker-compose.
I use Heimdall. You can set it up in no time with docker compose and manage it all through the web interface after that.
Its simple but also has some neat integrations with certain apps and will give live stats for certain things. Like pihole gives you live stats on what's being blocked for instance.
I was only able to get my Android friends to convert. Now they aren't using it either. Truly a shame.
Basically a privacy policy change that wove them tighter into facebooks's ecosystem and made it clear that Facebook would in no uncertain terms be collecting WhatsApp user data.

Cruisin USA baby!
But seriously, nothing compared to Forza 4 for me. The detail of the cars, the Top Gear commentary, and it was my first game I got with my Xbox 360. Just amazing.
Honorable mention for POD Planet of Death on Windows 95. Its super old but at the time it looked amazing and has a super cool aesthetic and rad soundtrack.
I was devastated when Android Signal removed SMS support. Since then I'm down to just 3 people that I still use signal with.
Its been a shame to see the direction its gone since the huge influx after the last WhatsApp controversy.
I am yes.
