Why some prefer Plex over Jellyfin
  • I haven't, no. But not many are using it currently. I would assume that bandwidth limits are more for large, terabytes of data, rather than a few hundred gigs. Could be mistaken though.

  • Why some prefer Plex over Jellyfin
  • I would suggest using a Tunnel; I personally use a TailScale funnel to reverse proxy my Jellyfin setup. No need to worry about IP address changes then. If you already reverse proxy things, use one of the other ports TS Funnel allows.

  • Summit - A Lemmy reader
  • I second this. Will it be open source in the future?

  • Why some prefer Plex over Jellyfin
  • I use both in my home but I have friends and family that use only Plex. Plex currently is much more user friendly as it has apps everywhere and is simpler to use. Having to enter an URL is already a non-starter for many non-techies.

    I personally love Jellyfin even with its drawbacks and quirks. But usability and ease are what's more important to me.

  • Should I Jump to Debian 12? I have Kubuntu 23.04
  • I would suggest going straight Arch. EndeavourOS introduced a lot of weird things for me. The new Arch Installer is just text based but made everything so easy. Much happier now

  • What are some of your favorite Linux FOSS replacements for WIndows software?
  • Is Insomnia like Postman? If so, could you post a link please?

  • Can you post the link for Micro? I use VSCode daily and if there's an OSS version comparable/better, definitely interested.

    I never could make KDEnlive work well for me, I use ShotCut instead. Basically everything else, I'm the same. Can't get away from VLC though.

  • which OS do you like the most?
  • The new Arch Installer makes it pretty darn streamlined. If you can get your box onto the internet, it'll work almost like any other installer. Just all text based.

    Fedora/Ubuntu is what I tell casual users to use though.
