AMD’s also apparently unifying their server and consumer gpu departments for RDNA5/UDNA iirc, which I’m really hoping helps with this too

Alright the time travellers are selling, time to short bitcoin

I found the effort was in researching and choosing which components to use, rather than actually installing once chosen. It’s easy if you know exactly what you’re gonna install, but on that first build it definitely takes effort if you want to read into all the options and make educated choices

The way I was specifically talking about was for the project to be fully open source, but with an optional paid service aimed at businesses that ensures priority attention to bugs and feature requests. I’ve also seen open source projects with paid binaries, most commonly for iOS where it costs the devs money to keep an app on the app store so users can compile it themselves for free or pay for the (still open source) precompiled app. Open source and paid don’t have to be mutually exclusive, although the culture of free like freedom and free like free beer is great and I hope we never lose that.

I personally don’t mind at all if open source projects want to sell a “pro” version for businesses, as long as it’s still open source. Selling priority troubleshooting and dev attention to issues to businesses seems like one of the less offensive ways to fund open source projects in a capitalist society, imo

It can’t make gentoo users like it 😭

The other apps (probably sonarr/radarr/jellyseer?) are for downloading content, for watching what you already have jellyfin alone will do the job. The only other one you might want is an avahi client, so that on the local network you can connect with [pc’s name].local:8096 instead of 192.168.0.whatever:8096.
Usually for jellyfin alone its enough to install it (from apt, assuming you’re on a Debian based distro), make it auto start with sudo systemctl enable jellyfin, and then turn it on with sudo systemctl start jellyfin. That should be enough to see it running from your local network, although you might have to use your local ip if avahi isn’t on.
Anyway no pressure to jump back into troubleshooting this, just wanted to say it so you don’t feel like whatever programs youtube was recommending are mandatory.

Remotely as in from another computer on the same network, or from another network? Cuz connecting from another network will take some extra steps (usually forwarding a port on your router). The Linux communities on here are pretty receptive to questions if you’re stuck, too

Personally my arch install is almost boring me with how stable it’s been - and if anything goes wrong, it backs itself up before and after every single update plus on every boot just cuz, so I can roll back to wherever I want. I’ve put a lotta work into building out all these redundancies I’m happy with, and arch has been so goddamn stable I haven’t even had an excuse to use them. The process of getting a complete install was absolutely not “it works” - but now that I’m there, yeah, it really does just work. My only complaint is that I don’t have any reason to tinker with it more.
