There are several apps that are compiled for both Linux and windows natively, that’s what I was referring to

The monitor thing is very dependent on distro, I didn’t really have any issues at all with Linux mint or nobara

As others have said wine/proton is not an emulator and some games run even better on Linux, that being said a lot of AAA games have DRM that prevent you from running them on Linux, that would be your real argument there

Don’t like being able to share software? A ton of software on Linux is FOSS and available on windows, not all of it of course, but you could say the same about Mac

Depending on the corporation and software, you can use Linux, but yes, most places are windows shops, so that is difficult

But yeah,a computer that just “works” I concede most distros will not get you there. Nobara is definitely a bit unstable but I can deal with it because I was in IT for 6 years. Although immutable distros are close, but they definitely still take some knowhow to use, and have their limitations

Edit: misread part of the comment

Yeah it took me a few hours of research and plugin setup to get feature parity with Plex, and then even so I don’t have anything to replace plexamp yet

Genuinely Plex has become so obtrusive about NEW FEATURES, NOW WE HAVE THIS, USE THIS THUS WAY!!! and then also my libraries have somehow become even slower to load. I’ve been using jellyfin way more often

+1 on the LSI cards, I’ve been running one for a year or so now

Literally the rhetoric that the Nazis used as an excuse to experiment on Jews in concentration camps

I don’t know what it has

Idk man there’s a music player

I use sonarr and radarr, they automatically structure the folder system, and you can also have the same issues with Plex. I had an issue where Plex would not no matter what detect the newest episode of a show and Jellyfin picked it up no problem

There’s plugins that can replace Plexamp

Jellyfin is a lot better than it used to be, to get feature parity with Plex you will probably need to install some plugins but I literally searched “best Jellyfin plugins reddit” and the list in the first thread I found was all I needed. The webOS, Android, and Roku apps are very good, I’m not sure what the situation is on Apple TV but I think they have an app

Host Jellyfin either by running their easy setup script or by hosting it on docker, in order for it to be publicly accessible you will need to either port forward and give people your external IP or you need to have your own website. It’s very easy with a docker container to get it running locally, you literally just spin it up, the same as Plex.

I don’t like their company because they are also like the meta of porn in the sense that they bought up all their competitors and have made a monolith service

Really didn’t like him when he was younger, he was a naive swedish kid that didn’t realize that the dumb shit he said online had ramifications because his audience was so big. He helped platform Ben Shapiro to a younger generation when he had him on his channel for a video, he had that scandal where he said the n word, and then of course the clip where he says the glass ceiling doesn’t exist. It’s clear to me he didn’t realize the cultural and political ramifications of that stuff in America because he was never really exposed to it growing up in Sweden, and he was a cocky 20 something that thought he knew everything.

I hope these days he’s realizing how idiotic some of that shit was and is actually trying to use his platform to make his viewers aware of valid issues rather than spouting off about topics he knows nothing about to his viewers who take his word as truth.

Genuinely, the more I use Linux the more slow and clunky windows feels. Also I’m a power user, when you install custom apps on windows it FEELS bloated, it’s like “you didn’t do this the WINDOWS way, so it’s clunky” meanwhile on Linux it’s like “yeah man it’s open just plug in whatever” and it JUST WORKS
