Don’t let the “semi-professionals” convince you into over-designing your system. An old laptop is probably all you need to start.

• LoRes DIY
• Learnlinuxtv

There are many more out there.

What are you interested in doing and what hardware do you have today?

This! Until you have a goal or target functionality the topic is basically unlimited. You can scope into to a Pi-hole and plex/jellyfin server and learn loads

I really want to try using TrueNAS because I feel like learning ZFS. I have raspberry pis but they’re not compatible. I thought about getting a used machine somewhere but wasn’t sure because I will probably end up installing nextcloud and jellyfin on it so I don’t want to worry about hardware bottlenecks

I wouldnt be the one to help you on a nas. I went with an appliance by synology
