Well, I’ve tried it since this comment, and I’m using it occasionally (primarily because I like the Delfin app for Arch Linux), but there’s a lot of reasons I still prefer Plex. First and most importantly, I use PlexAMP as my primary music player and I have 1tb+ of music that I don’t feel like perfectly setting up again. It’s a huge amount of work, and I listen to a lot of lesser known shit that just isn’t easy to gather data for, and a lot of Various Artist shit that I’m really particular about how it shows up.

The other big issue I have is that Collections is a separate tab in Movies, rather than being listed alongside the rest of my library like in Plex, and that’s really just not useful for me. It automatically populated my collections just fine, but if my primary Movies tab is just gonna list each individual movie and I have to actually go to the Collections tab to see collections, it’s just not how I like my library. If I can find a solution for this it’ll go a long way to pushing me toward JellyFin.

well this is my current music library all together in a WinAMP Playlist

TV folder is 6.66tb, Movie folder is 1.84tb, Music is 600gb

That’s cool, but why not just use Soulseek?

Plex. I’m not sure if Jellyfin is foss, but if it is, I haven’t felt like converting my library. I’ve put a lot of work into making it just right.

Steam, obviously.

other than video games, I think that’s really it. I still use some others, like Spotify, but not primarily, I just like to have options.

That and jokes about refusing to call it X

Clearly whoever wrote this has not tried torrenting popular content 🤨

Raytracing is mostly fucked though, otherwise I’d be gaming exclusively on Linux as well. Aside from that though I’ve never had any issues with Nvidia on Linux.

Well I guess that’s at least one good thing about Threads

So basically exactly the kind of thing normies will become totally obsessed with and will therefore be a massive success

The only real usefulness I’ve ever found is following musical artists to keep up with what they’re putting out, but with Mastadon I’ve been using it as something of a news source and getting a lot out of it

I just want with tech.lgbt, seemed obvious since I’m a queer tech nerd.

So far my problem with Mastadon and the Fediverse as a whole, though, is a seeming lack of goth/freak/alternative/underground culture, which is my main interest in online social spaces, but I’m making due, and as someone who hasn’t really enjoyed microblogging in the past, I find myself using Mastadon more and more lately and really digging it.

how is that miserable?

I’m on it right now. Got a new Thinkpad a couple weeks ago and just wasn’t in the mood to install Arch the normal way when I finally had alone time at 11pm, gave Endeavour a shot and was like oh, this is convenient 🤩

1000% came in here to say I wish we all still just used IRC. Soooo hard to find a good, active IRC channel about a topic I care about these days 🙁
