Having read through some of the comments I just wanted to add one thing. If you find that one distro doesn't quite do what you need, don't be afraid to wipe it again and install a different distro. I migrated from windows 10 to Linux mint, I found it frustrating for gaming, and then from mint I switched to cachyOS, which is built from the same OS that the steam deck uses. I haven't had any similar issues since. Find what works for you, and don't be afraid to try something else

I was a picky eater as a child. There are tons of foods I didn't like and would not eat. As an adult I've been challenging myself to try these foods again. The most dramatic difference in what I tasted versus what I expected was just fresh cut strawberries. I was at a wedding and they had a fruit display. I tried one, and then I got more. It turns out that a lot of the foods I didn't like as a kid were either not the right temperature or bad quality.

I think that in order to explain my thoughts on this I want to explain how warehouses transport pallets of stuff with plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap for transporting/moving stuff is incredibly useful, but not how you might think. It's not that the stuff inside is any safer than if you didn't use it. It's more that the stuff inside is incredibly contained and likely to hold it's shape even if things start to break. Which means you won't have a giant mess to clean up, and you can reasonably rely on it to support any other things stacked on top of your pallet.

This wouldn't work for safeguarding your house, because if you've ever dunked something wrapped in Saran wrap you'll notice that it's not always water tight. Add extreme winds and the wrap will likely peel off and make things worse. I think you'd probably have a giant mess, and be no more protected than if you didn't use any Saran wrap at all

I feel like every season tries something a little bit new on the premise of the space race. I also feel like there is too much show for how much I enjoy every season. The characters are oddly flat, and their dialogue is cringe. Also they do some things that are just utterly fucked up. One character fucks her husband's best friend's child (who was also best friends with her dead son growing up together).

The space stuff can be dramatic and fun and all of it is visually well made, but I am increasingly finding that the fluff between the truly space sequences are less and less worth it

I have a friend who worked relatively high in big tobacco. He rationalized that his job is going to exist no matter what, and that if he takes it, he will be able to benefit and do something about it. I don't know what he meant by doing something, but it didn't seem to eat at him. But either way he only worked there for about 2 years before getting recruited somewhere else

I started with jellyfin, and eventually let my partner convince me to pay for a lifetime pass for Plex. Plex just has better functionality. Not only can I access my library from anywhere, the subtitles work without fiddling with different srt files, the error messages are much more descriptive, and I find the documentation for adding OTA antenna and DVR functionality much more comprehensible with Plex.

I like jellyfin for what it is, but Plex makes it all work with far less headache and much better support. So Plex wins, in my mind for now.

And with all that being said, I got my Plex lifetime pass a few years ago, so the value I have will not be the same as yours if you are just now starting to consider Plex, so I can understand why you might have a different opinion

I'm using for steam gaming mostly. I can't get some of the more popular type games playing, and then also some stopped working. I'm afraid that I messed up some proton settings and I was thinking of switching to bazzite, but I want to actually know what I'm doing when it comes to configuration of my environment so that it takes as little tinkering as possible
