MSI RX3090 Suprim X OC (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 EVGA XC3 Hybrid Gaming>is already here but I have to wait for replacement PSU cables -.-)

I have a nerdy background with mostly Win (dating back to 3.11 XD) and slight VSC/Terminal experience + Blender/G-Code, so I'm not afraid of tackling Linux.
My goal is the typical "Jarvis workstation"...yes, I'm one of those XD
But all local AI is moving so fast and there is so much out there...and I could try to power through and make it work by mindless Gemini copypaste iteration, while unknowingly allowing bridges out of docker or other stuff that will brake my build sooner than later.
I don't need someone to hold my hand, but some pointers would be great! (or perhaps I DO need someone to hold my hand lol not sure anymore at this point)
What I've done so far: install Ubuntu 26.04 LTS with extra partitions for /srv/models, agents, working, output and boot, root, home of course. I know, 26.04 just came out...but I tried pop os and it didn't click with me. Since there is some controversy about how deep the loader of 26.04 sits in the system, I consider switching to something else, if it also has good support for my hardware.
Ollama, ComfyUI and OpenWebUi are up and running, erni and z-image generation works fine even with only one 3090. Some Symlinks are up. Started with llama3 and I am toying around with qwen3.5.
And now? OpenClaw or Hermes? AICrew? Complete wipe and fresh start with a clear route? Help :D
