no. Jellyfin aims to be totally open source.
Emby is not, and the reason it works better. They pay the licenses for mp4 etc. earn it back from those who support, but it never was truly open source.
Jellyfin is open source, and that is the reason they have “problems” (licensing issues, that you have circumvent if you look hard enough).
For set and forget, Emby and Plex are the choices. Emby does not have a bullshit money making agenda, and is the better option - currently.
“obscure Emby”… You don’t get out much, do you.
Emby is a direct competitor to Plex, and its better. It doesn’t require and internet connection to work, doesnt force signup, its completely self hosted if you want. The dev is responsive, bugs are fixed quickly.
It does have subscription options if you want, none are required for full functionality.
Emby is not FOSS, but neither is Plex.
No, you total bell end.
I support and do everything in Linux, and I can. But I cannot play games I want to play. I have to use windows to play what I want to play, because companies that make games do not support Linux.
How fucking retarded are you?
Never mind, you are probably just another aimbot using n00b in some old game that still runs on Linux, that no one cares about anymore.
Kernel Level Anti-Cheat. If you don’t understand that, then you don’t know if Linux is good or bad for “gaming”.
Basically everything you want to play on Linux, that is not supported by the anti-cheat kernel is screwed.
“Steam offers all these game to play on Linux” - yes, but I played them all 20 years ago.
Try playing something like Genshin Impact. You cannot, the anticheat is Windows only. (PS and consoles, it relies on anticheat mech’s from the HW). They don’t offer a Linux version - so you are screwed.
Does it have EAC or Battleeye? You are shit out of luck.
The Linux Desktop is ready for primetime, but not for gaming. You need a windows boot for gaming, unless you are playing Half-Life…
I know this is not useful for most use cases, but if you login to the desktop on the ‘remote Wayland’, locally first then RD will work as expected. So if you can change the behaviour of the remote desktop to stay unlocked (IE its in a secure place where others cannot just access the device), then and RD will work with Wayland.
I use NoMachine (since I manage all sorts of devices, and its nice that there is a client and server for everything including phones/arm) and it works for me because many of the machines are actually VM’s and I can keep the desktops unlocked and logged in. NoMachines solution for Wayland - is to disable it and use X11 !!
But I wish many of the RD developers would just embrace Wayland and add/rewrite code to support it (If it is in their scope, I don’t know) It might not be, since I am aware of Waypipe and Pipewire, but I’d assume that RD devs would still need to include support for that.
Resources is a nice aio flatpak for system monitoring.

Reset forgotten supervisor password
If you forget your supervisor password, Lenovo cannot reset your password. You must take your computer to a Lenovo Service Provider to have the system board replaced.
I miss SPARC, from Sun microsystems.
Make it happen :)
You’ll also find Rust in the Linux Kernel. Of course you have to turn EAC ripper off, that is a Microsoft program and won’t run in Linux natively.
dont know about traditional board games, but if you have a 3D printer look for “3d printer [game name] pieces”
connect 4, mouse trap to name a couple.
I bet boggle and stuff like that are out there as well.
As I have said in the past, there are plenty of good free ones, and there are also spotweb (spotnab) sites that are great as long as your a fast (ie dcma).
Also the “arrrs” were designed with usenet first, its not an afterthought.
if you want to get access to good indexers, then yeah you may need to wait until you get am invite or an invite period opens, but you have to do this, its just how they operate.
you can do torrents and usenet in your arrr, at the same time. So nothing stops you from having both.
but the SPEED AND RELEASES youll see on usenet are unsurpassed and probably at least a week earlier than on your torrent sites.
Also you can run your own indexer for usenet (wont be as good as some because it wont deal with obfuscated posts, but as a backup it will be fine)
Id suggest you go down the rabbit hole and decide for yourself if you like it, you can always cancel.
oh and usenet is encrypted (if you enable it, ie port 563) so not much chance of knowing what your are doing. No more than a VPN company letting on to what a user was doing.
i should give jellyfin another shot, its been some years. When i tried it last, it was not a nice experience. But i refused to use plex after it required login for even offline access (i wonder how many people remember that. If you lost internet access, you couldnt watch plex)
so i switched to Emby, which is still closed source, but didnt have the bullshit plex requirements. The advantage was [sic] that being closed it could offer proprietary stuff like codecs or DTS. (dts and similar were only available on plex and on nVidia TV device)
Everything i do (as much as possible) is oss, but some things just cant.
Ill try jellyfin again in the next month or so and see how its doing.
Welp, their threat doesn’t affect me. I have no care for that barbaric country.
Besides, I’ve blocked everything geo-labelled as Russia anyway, it makes for much easier firewall logs. Honestly “the West” as russians say, should flat out block the entire country to our internet.
This would stop a lot of hacking and exploiting, and they’re basically dictating everything to their people at this point, so let them just become a new N.Korea.
They want our tech, they don’t want to co-op or collab with the West and everything they have/do is inferior. Cut them off at the neck.
(Im biased, my mother’s parents were Polish and Ukraine, and I’ve been to both places many times and russia is an arsehat in general)
you why can join be the a navy pirate when?
Let me offer another thought, if you are literally hanging on to windows for this, you could set up a VM in linux for this task. This is how I manage win only apps like my security client (camera vms). You have a license for windows, make it more useful. (and no rebooting to swap!)
Or, a little more controversial, choose another player instead of Apple ipod. Plenty alternates that just work with linux.
I used to have an ipod 20 years ago, and there was a linux “itunes” application, but I doubt its still maintained, or apple has made it impossible for 3rd parties to manage an ipod.
Free Download Manager is okay for me for the occasional torrent i grab, otherwise its great for just downloading in general. (window only i think)
however most of my activity is in usenet/nzb and ive settled on nzbget for this work. I ran sabnzbd for a long time (and concurrently), but it seems that nzbget works for everything no probs.
Ive been out of the torrent game for a long while, and dont know the current status of projects like qtorrent.
KMSPico still works, but take care of where you get it from.
Stay safe.
Im watching it rn, and WTF!! its a SNW and a crossover with Lower Decks!!
I mean its amazing, but shit this is weird!!
I need to know if this is really real or something else…
Your second, third and fourth points eliminate many distros such as Ubuntu. And many of the distros out there are based on Debian.
Debian isn’t really stale. It is currently running kernel 6.1.10 which is not a long way from 6.1.39 (longterm, and that only came out 2 days ago). Stable gets constant updates. Testing is also generally very stable. The only thing that stops testing moving into stable is what are considered Release Critical bug count. All documented here: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ftparchives#testing
Also while Debian 12 is LTS, it won’t stop 13 from coming out and it doesn’t stop you from upgrading to 13 (although you may lose LTS if they decide that 13 will not be LTS).
Debian is about as open as you can get, certainly does not infringe on your 2, 3 and 4th points.
Only other thing is what you are doing with your Linux, this might make a difference (you say daily driver, but doing what? Just office stuff, or heavy video editing, etc)
Well, yeah true it started like that. But still Jellyfin followed the open source path. I’d expect that under the hood there would be very little left of what was Emby, it was just a starting point. (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby , before they changed the licensing and removed any further work to the GPL 2 version).
Also Emby is at 4.8.1 now and has been making leaps and bounds in changes lately.
As I said, licensing was the issue for Emby, and the easiest solution was to change their license. It wasn’t just to make money, it was about being able to handle licenses from other software, such as Fraunhofer
