Also what I am really looking forward to is learning to send my transactions to my
own node from my Trezor and availing of the increased security.

I will give you a very brief overview of what you can do:

You will need to run a node (Bitcoin Core is the best in my opinion).

If you want any app to connect to Bitcoin Core, you will likely need an electrum server. You can do electrs or Fulcrum. Here is also LoyceV's adventure if you wanna take a look.

The only app I've seen that connects straight to bitcoin core without an electrum server is Sparrow wallet.

Finally, if you install an electrum server, you can connect Trezor Suite to it, using this guide.

Thanks for that, yea will be running Bitcoin Core ^{I guess I didnt count that as an app as its an essential
to running a node}

I have read about Electrum server and will definitely run that to utilise my Trezor connecting to it. I would rather
run that with the Trezor than not run it and using a different wallet like Sparrow as you suggest.
electrs or Fulcrum? no idea yet, will have to do some[MORE] research.

Thanks for the link to LoyceV's thread - phew - will have to read that a few time to get me yead around it.

*DISCLAIMER* I am not a programmer or even as technical as is probably required when it comes to computers,
hopefully I can learn enough to at least get up an running without too much difficulty.

^ thanks for that - all installed

I ran stress but I guess because there isnt anything running its not reporting anything.
I guess its beneficial to run it when its processing.

I'm not sure what do you mean by not reporting anything. But stress only give minimal output on terminal, here's an example with 4 thread and 10 second duration.

Code:

$ stress -c 4 -t 10
stress: info: [9905] dispatching hogs: 4 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd
stress: info: [9905] successful run completed in 10s

You'll need to use different application in order to know current CPU and other part temperature while it perform CPU (and other kind of) stress. There's no benefit if you run stress together with Bitcoin Core.

gonna run some tests and report back, I imagine it will all be normal . . .
