It depends on what you plan on running and how much RAM each VM would potentially need. I run proxmox on my 11th gen NUC with 64GB of RAM, 8 VMs, 1TB nvme for VMs, and 500GB SSD for OS. I have had no problems for my workloads and have a bit more room for more.
In the meantime you can take steps to potentially limit your exposure to PFASs like drinking filtered water using reverse osmosis. Here's a 2020 study on the different types of filtration and their impact on PFAS:

I use this with grapheneOS and it provides a great amount of customizability that I want. I've had no problems with the app at all the the past year I've been using it. I keep all the apps that require Google to function locked away and only use them when I absolutely need them. I no longer worry about apps constantly doing god knows what with my data while I go about my daily life.
I consider this lazy programming. I've had it happen a few times but luckily it has been rare for me.
Lemmy does seem to have enough content and user engagement for my needs. I've noticed engagement going up the past month but wasn't sure I was making that up in my head.
I really haven't felt the need to go back to reddit much. But the niche communities could use a lot more users posting and creating new content.
