Does the server have to run headless, or can one person still run games locally on it while another has a remote session? That is, would I be able to play on the monitor/mouse/keyboard directly attached, while my partner has a session on a laptop?

Found a fan of Big Game Hunters, have we?
I didn’t before but now I am glad I did

How much vibration is the computer subjected to? Do you live in a limestone quarry?
Quite the opposite. Society has been moving up hill this whole time, with downhill slides now and then. Climate change is possibly the worst slide, but the ones who make it the worst are dying off as their generation hits the end of their life expectancy. Gen Z and younger have very different priorities from the older generations. Millennials lean similarly, are building political power and hopefully fast enough to prevent the worst of Gen X from following in their predecessors’ footsteps. Society isn’t going to vanish just because sea levels rise. Society is near-global now, something that has never happened before; it is not comparable to some hunter-gatherer band that over-hunted their food supply.
After the collapse of modern society happens on a global scale, I will apologize to you in person. Otherwise, we can presume I am right and humans are going to go on forever. It’s not going to be a comfortable ride for most, but our species is going to reach the point where the ones standing in the way of progress are no longer wielding the most power. At least long enough to get the worst threats handled.
Humans are going to persist through the various existential threats, current and future. Some of those impact how inhospitable the future becomes, but we are just breaking out of the dark age of complex life’s timeline. The progress of our species is still accelerating despite the setbacks. Humans are going to keep the data with them, because storage technologies are not going to regress. It doesn’t matter if today’s storage is fragile and prone to decay.
Unlikely. Wikipedia can be backed up on a thumb drive, and millions of various storage media are being produced every year, perhaps into perpetuity. The damaged media are replaced faster than they break. Even something as cataclysmic as Chicxulub isn’t going to wipe all of them, and probably not even all humans who will continue carrying the content forward. We are the species best suited for eternal preservation so far as we know.
I already suggested this in another comment, but you can easily apply a thought experiment here. Magically replace all white people with black people with the same upbringing: does crime go up, down, or basically stay the same? Magically replace all pitbulls with chihuahuas with the same upbringing: do maulings go up, down, or basically stay the same?
Couldn’t tell the cops if the mugger was white or black? Pretty understandable. Couldn’t tell the cops if the dog that bit you was a chihuahua or a pitbull? Really?
Any “big dog with a blocky head” should be banned from breeding or sale, and nobody who agrees with that statement cares about DNA. It is a matter of public safety and it doesn’t matter that humans are the real problem, because humans are notoriously hard to control. The pitbulls and similar breeds we have today deserve all the love and comfort we can give them now, but they shouldn’t be bred into the future because there is no legitimate reason to own one except for its potential for violence and flatulence-scapegoating.
Quick thought experiment - magically replace every pitbull in the world with a chihuahua instead. Do the number of maulings go up or down?

Where’s the homework folder?
Maybe everyone else is seeing something I am not, but what routing path is for internet traffic to “Future PC” and its neighbors? You have the ISP modem labeled as a passthru, which means it is not handling NAT/firewall. What device is binding to the WAN IP address that the passthru will be handing out? An unmanaged switch is not going to do that.
Got my vote, since it is implementation agnostic, and refers to the big differentiator from centralized platforms
Damn now I feel dumb for tipping at vending machines.
