Those are the exact words my first boss used when on my first day, I asked if I could use linux mint instead haha. That's pretty spot on.

For good reason too, it has waaaay more support for your basic workplace apps than anything else (not that other things don't but it's easier to find a .deb than a .rpm)

A "Ubuntu LTS" option would be great here, yeah. It'd be next to impossible to support every distro and I get the feeling linux users who have distro preferences are also the type who would prefer to do it themselves.

Source: Me I guess. I'd rather setup Fedora myself

The season 1 intro is so god damn pitch perfect I think it makes what is an incredible season of television seem like crap by comparison.

Hyperboly obviously, the show's amazing

I have an init.sh file I run from my dotfiles. Pipe my sudo password to it and leave it alone for about an hour. Gets things 95% of the way to how I like them.

I should migrate to ansible like u/[email protected] but time :(

Fair enough, just saw the "if you're not an IT worker" comment haha

Ah, my use case right now is almost exclusively streaming stuff from my laptop to a phone with HEVC support over a local network so I can just turn transcoding off and be okay.

I did however have issues with my lack of transcoding (I turned it off myself, not Jellyfin's fault. Pitchforks down, people) on a tablet without hardware HEVC support though so I may have to experiment with it soon.

FWIW I had to go in and turn the feature off but there's also a good chance it was using CPU instead of GPU

Oh come on, it's better to be helpful if you can rather than just saying "for you" and adding nothing else to the conversation.

Seriously I'm sure they'd love to try it again if the issue is resolved. I know I wouldn't pick Plex over Jellyfin unless I had no choice.

When you say "hardware encoding", are you talking about using your GPU for stuff like transcoding when streaming to devices?

I ask because I actively disable all transcoding because I run jellyfin off my laptop and don't wanna overwork it so to speak. I just assumed it was using the GPU.

Galaxy Note 9. It was the last fully featured phone Samsung made with a headphone jack, an S-Pen, and no display cutout. The only phones that have come out since that are even close to as fully featured are the Sony Xperia phones.

I bought one brand new a few months ago because my S7 died and I couldn't justify dropping $1000 on an Xperia phone. It's an EU model bought from US Amazon so I definitely overpaid, but it's been worth it so far. Definitely holds up imo.

It's obviously not flagship level, but it's still a solid mid-ranger. It doesn't get software updates anymore so officially, I'm stuck on Android 10 and an old security patch. However, I can upgrade to One UI Android 12/13, or whatever the latest AOSP is through the magic of custom ROMs if it ever starts to bother me.

Edit: The only issue I have is that the fingerprint reader isn't as fast as I'd like it to be. I'm not sure if it's common or just a me issue despite searching a bunch so any help would be appreciated :)
