  • Since you run both, I have a few questions if you don’t mind.

    I don’t have a plex pass but, so the only feature I want is intro skipping and from what you mention I understand it needs tinkering. Acceptable for me.

    My usage is pretty simple if I migrate to Jellyfin do I need to fuck around with my folder structures ? No special case just /movie/title | tv/title in my use-case with the usual arr stack for grabbing.

    The client used currently is a desktop client on arch/windows and I don’t need hardware transcoding. The server and libraries are on Truenas.

    I don’t need remote playback for movies/tvs but I have no idea how to replace Plexamp and if you have suggestions, feel free to mention it.

    https://xkcd.com/2501 to some extent.

    Yeah, Linux user can/willing to read instructions that (the important part IMO) unfamiliar to them, that’s like not what average user would do.

    Most users know how to install something on Windows, they’ve used it since they were toddler and whether or not you think it’s a better experience in Linux is irrelevant.

    Most software they need in Windows has a giant download button on the respective site, double click the downloaded file and you’re done.

    99% of the time you can immediately start the program or there will be a shortcut on the desktop.

    Also, gaming. Like it or not it is a casual workload, and it’s not as straightforward on Linux.


  • I mean, I’m also old and I get what you mean, but I still feel this way on many occasions.

    Games nowadays are huge, and my 50 mbps bandwidth can’t keep up with today’s standard where I’m used to everything happens instantly.

    Also modded games are usually painful to reinstall.
