Well torrents are slow, typically, and unless the video you wanted to watch had i high amount of seeders, that can cause issues. When i use it, i sort by the number of seeders, and then find the highest balance of quality vs seeders.

You can disable and tweak transcoding settings, but it might mean that certain media isnt going to be able to be played at all, if its a certain format. If you have a beefy computer, this shouldnt be an issue, but if not id check this out: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/transcoding/

Linux mint gaming

never heard of them. Im gonna be checking it out, thanks!

It was one of the most known about and widely used streaming sites. RIP another loss for the community

This is awesome work

sounds like what you want to set up is similar to radarr/sonarr. These are not plugins for jellyfin, but rather they serve to organize your collections, as well as search for torrents. Start your research with the following

• Radarr
• Sonarr
• Jackett

promoting lemmy on reddit is probably the best way to get new users as of right now.

Go promote, everyone!

The distros that 'just work' are typically referred to as beginner distros. Not that there is anything wrong with them, im running one myself. But those usually include Linux Mint and Ubuntu. These come with packages pre-installed to make your experience less of a pain to setup.

Well in terms of anticheat, VM's require immense amounts of knowledge to avoid detection. Ive heard specifically that Rainbow Six: Siege will ban you for playing under VM, as well as Valorant. Dual booting is best to avoid anticheat, but if that doesn't matter, then a VM with passthrough can be extremely performant.

Thats a shame

Well thats concerning. Hope the revenue they get from API access and forcing ads will offset the communities they are pushing away. Im about to delete my reddit account over this. Lets hope lemmy can gain traction.
