It’s good for people who are use to windows and aren’t comfortable with linux yet, it was the first distro I used when I switched to Linux but now I’ve been on Fedora for the past four years or so

I’ve tried to use Jellyfin every year or two for the past six years to replace Plex, but it sadly just isn’t there. It’s not good in a lot of aspects, especially when it comes to full bitrate 4K HDR movies (100GB movie files), HDR tone mapping, and especially subtitles (which I always have on).

Also, I’m pretty sure on their GitHub page there’s like a huge list of some significant or moderate security vulnerabilities that have been known for many years and are never going to get fixed due to breaking compatibility with some old devices if their fixed.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In this case, my personal experience and the dozens of other people who have agreed with me beg to differ.

Fedora, great blend of bleeding edge and stability. Plus Linus uses it, so what better praise could you get.

Good to hear, I was hoping that wouldn’t get approved by the engineering and steering committee

Its actually a high drama distro, they push new changes before many other distros. For instance they were one of the first to go to Wayland by default and there is an upcoming vote to remove 32bit stuff In the next release, which would make it so steam only works as a flatpak because steam on Linux is 32bit

Fedora is my distro of choice also

Just block his name, I have trump and Elon and varations of their names black listed so posts with them don’t show up on my feed.

I think he was only using it to work on the MacBook, Which, I really don’t think is his daily driver.

“JUST $10.28/YEAR - WOW!!” Laughed out loud at that, and I’ll have to give this a look. Currently I just use nginx and duckdns to expose my home IP for my self hosted stuff.

Local media streaming Is the appeal?

Now if you’re asking why use Plex vs Jellyfin, for me jellyfin has more issues with high bitrate 4K HDR content and subtitles for my situation.

I mean have you really only downloaded less than 500gb or is almost everything free seed and doesn’t count on your download stats.

Eitherway nice seeding, good job

Was your phone $150?

I gotcha, thanks for sharing. It’s cool hearing from people who are so far away!

I wanted to go with a pi for my HTPC but I have a Plex server and all my movies are full bitrate 4k files straight from the UHD blurays and the pi couldn’t handle that bitrate. Ended up building a small ITX PC with my old PC hardware and a new Intel A380 gpu.

I’m so thankful intel is doing their best to enter the discreet GPU market. Such banger cards for so little.

That’s crazy! If you don’t mind me asking what do you typically do on your machine and how much time do you spend on it?

I’m just curious because I spend a lot of time on my PC and can only imagine how horrible all the stuff I do would be on that hardware lol

“AI heavily increased GPU prices” Nvidia one of the greediest companys around increased the prices of GPUs, not necessarily AIs fault because nvidia is in direct control of their card prices.

Take a look at Intel’s new GPUs, they are actually priced in a way that isn’t fist fucking the consumer.

I still order from them although it’s definitely gotten worse and the website feels like It was designed exclusively by the marketing team and high-up executives instead of web engineers.

Honestly, I typically gravitate towards Amazon over Newegg these days, but Newegg does have a lot more options for computer hardware, so I still order from them. I just ordered an ITX motherboard and SFX power supply from newegg yesterday actually because amazom didn’t have the products I wanted.

Valve dosnt really “own” SteamOS. They maintain and update SteamOS, but SteamOS is free and open source

Plus just about everbody who knows anything about valve would tell you they are probably the most consumer friendly billion dollar company ever, and have been for decades. So yes even if they owned it like microsoft owns windows it would still be better

I was more just shitting on Discord to shit on Discord because you can have insane bitrates on clients such as TeamSpeak, which I would prefer everyone use.
