Honestly same, except I’ve been using jelly fin for about a year. Even with me having a Plex pass, I’m not using it.

Some truths cut too deep

Bg3 mostly. It’s a copy from dodi too… Which requires 4 additional updates to be current lol

I’m sure I could have figured it out, but would have just taken time.

I was trying or Linux for gaming… But I found using mods too difficult or annoying and switched back to Windows. That’s only for my gaming machine though…I use a Linux laptop for everything else

I got the color one for my daughter who can’t stop reading manga, and we have no more shelves to put physical books. Calibre want super intuitive, and I edited the series name, but the kobo still didn’t group things correctly, but it got sorted. Over all a high recommend

How often do you get new drives? I’ve been through 2 drives that store all my data since the last 15 or so years. I’m wanting to get a nas together now though but I’ve no server experience.

I super appreciate the comment, as I’ve had the same issue and didn’t know how to deal with it without a full reboot. If there an equivalent command in Linux for what control Alt delete does in Windows?

Oh wait, they removed that? I had no idea because I stopped using Ubuntu when they put ads in the dash.

This comment is helpful

Is there a good, free, cross platform alternative?

I have a Lenovo duet 2 that runs fedora no problem. Detachable keyboard and great size

I use Chromecast to watch jellyfin on my TV. My host PC is hardwired, and obviously the Chromecast is through WiFi

Ya, like jolly rouge said, they’re pretty good. I have had an occasional issue where the track pad didn’t want to work after waking the PC up. But otherwise it’s been bullet proof. All the hot keys work no problem. I haven’t had any of the weird “can’t wake from suspended state” issues I’ve had with older PCs. I basically leave my laptop plugged in next to my desk and it’s ready at a moments notice. I use Windows for gaming and work btw. But I’ve even installed Valheim on my laptop just to see if it would work and it totally does. No complaints on fedora. I used endeavor on it as well and I want to say even pop is. Just a bit of distro going there, no reason I ditched the other two other than just preferring fedora in the end.

I love my dell 5300 latitude with fedora. Touchscreen, 13 inches, super compact. And a dime a dozen as you can find used enterprise laptops on eBay/Facebook market.

Slap a large nvme in there and you’re good to go for like, under 300. With the leftover cash, you can even get a docking station and monitor if you wanted a dank setup at home.

Just coming in to say that I’ve tried pretty much all the noob Linux suggested distros, and fedora is what I use now. Started with Ubuntu in 2016. Gone through a few other like mint and peppermint. Even endeavor was really good but not 100% for me. Fedora had been pretty bullet proof.

Ya, this comment is way too far down. All 365 apps with within the browser. Problem solved.

I installed Bazzite on a Dell latitude just to check it out… The son of a bitch booted once, let me install updates then never booted again.

One time I kept a guy on the phone for about ten minutes just playing dumb. Then he’s like, sir, what version of Windows do you have?"

I say, I’m not sure but it’s the one with the little penguin icon.

We actually had a good laugh about it together
