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.

Why do you have Plex and Jellyfin?
With Plex banning people with large pirated libraries and their opt-out "watch reports" stuff, they're showing signs of enshittification. I setup Jellyfin as a alternative option for my library just in case. I even have a domain and HAProxy handling TLS offload for Jellyfin.
I'm a Plex Pass Lifetime subscriber, but I like Jellyfin a lot. Once they get the HTPC experience a bit more polished, I might fully move to it and retire Plex, but I'm hanging onto Plex for now.
The lifetime subscriber bit makes a lot of sense. I didn't have a Plex Pass and ditched them last year when the enshittifcation became worse than the effort to move everything over to Jellyfin. Basically swapped overnight once I was committed.
Yeah I have 40+ family members and friends who access my library through Plex.....it's going to be a much more bumpy ride for me and that's basically why I have this transition period.
That's super fair, I only have the people under my roof :)
Holy shit. Hats off to you for 40 person media management.
I would absolutely not want to take that on 😅
I wish i knew what "HAProxy handling TLS offload" meant.
Basically a pair of bouncers at the door to your Home Network whose specific purpose is to manage the flow of guests from outside (the internet) to your club (media server with library).
As I see it, they are close to parity on the video/shows side, but the music thing on Jellyfin is severely lacking for me. PlexAmp and all the special mix and radio features are where it's at for me, and so far I don't know of an open alternative to that.
Yeah I barely use Plex for music, so I haven't run into this much. I use mine for TV and Movies pretty much exclusively.
