My only hangup is installing repacks or modding games. It for sure works, but it’s a bigger headache. I use mint on my daily driver laptop otherwise.

I mean… Would it do the same with a 3rd party screenshot app? Or even something like obs? So many ways around it, no reason to get too upset.

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

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 basically never run out of battery in a single day… Unless one of my anomalous 3rd party apps decides to shit the bed. Just use my phone as much as I want, and charge each night.

… That said, I’ll still put it to charge occasionally if I’m in the car and below 60% simply because I’m neurotic.

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?

Mobile app has been the best YouTube app replacement I’ve found. And I just got the pop up about the desktop app on my drive home from work. Will for sure check it out.

I wish it more closely mirrored YouTube’s native video suggestions, but it’s pretty damn close.

Cool, thanks for the reply

I’m a noob and find when I run some video of jelly fin, my processor goes crazy, but other formats hardly move the needle. What formats does jelly fin not have to do much work with in order to play? If you know? Thanks!

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

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 just tried Bazzite on a laptop and doing it to be quite good. I prefer kde plasma anyway, so it’s been pretty awesome. I was even able to install ghost of tsushima via repack, so I’m considering imagining my actual gaming PC…I just want to finish BG3 first cause I’m too deep and would flip the duck out of I couldn’t finish

Just a thought, you could try getting a new Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card or just a USB dongle. Should be in the $10 usd range

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.
