From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Plex or Jellyfin for my Raspberry Pi? (lemmy.world)

Hi, all. So I want to set up a media server using my Raspberry Pi. It will be used by me and my partner, who is very much tech illiterate. She knows how to use Plex, but I'm tempted by the open nature of Jellyfin. How steep is the learning curve there? Should I just go with Plex and keep it simple? Or is Jellyfin manageable if I set it up for her?

I wish I'd have gone with Jellyfin when I migrated from Plex. I'm on Emby, it has a few features that I like that are not available in Jellyfin.

I am experimenting with Jellyfish this month and really enjoying it.

I have a lifetime pass from Plex from a long time ago so it's my fallback now. And because of that I wasn't sure if I should try Emby since ... Well you have to pay. And I already have Plex.

But I'm curious ... Because it feels like everyone who uses Emby is very happy with it and swears by it. And generally they all feel like Jellyfin is generally inferior to it.

Seems like Emby is a better Jellyfin that you have to pay for if you want all those premier features (I would).

Also, what's to stop Emby from turning into Plex?

The media import is nice. That's why I haven't switched either.

I'm on an older Synology diskstation (418play) and I found Emby was better packaged to use on that platform. On a Pi I might have gone for Jellyfin instead.
