Yeah, while writing I had the same thought. I will check and report back.

No, I tried rescanning the library and it did not fix the problem. Also deleting the library and reconfugting it does not work.
I am playing Monkey Island, Balatro and Cyber Hook. I don’t think I need to introduce Monkey Island, so a bit about the other two.
Balatro is a card game, where you have to play pokerhands to reach increasingly higher scores. You can upgrade cards, get special effects and comboa going, all centered around the basic poker hands (pairs, flush, full house etc.) It is really fun for now, but I am not sure how long it will keep me.
Cyber Hook is a fast paced 3D platformer. Basically you are Spider Man, trying get through a level as fast as you can, swinging from structure to structure, running, jumping etc. It is inexpensive, bought it for ~2€ and it has a good set of mechanichs to make it not too complex but gives you a lot of possibilities to finish a level.
Some Distros come with Nvidia drivers preinstalled and I have heard people being succesful with them PopOS and Nobara come to mind. Nobara is very similar to Fedora, it is in fact based on it.
I do not think they are called drivers, but yes, installing the needed codecs should work. I just did not find out how to do it properly.
I did not really solve it. I looked around for a bit but found no good solution. The only thing that sort of worked was to copy the stream URL in Jellyfin and paste it into VLC Media Player, which could play the videos okay. But that was not really satisfactory for me.
In the end I installed a new OS on my PC which already came with the codecs to decode x265 preinstalled. I installed it for other reasons but it fixed also that issue and now I can play any video in the Jellyfin Media Player. I did not try if it also works in the browser. The OS I am now using is called Nobara.
I had a similar problem. For me it was because some of the videos were encoded with x265 which some client devices could not decode properly. Therefore the server had to decode them but it was not fast enough to do it.
I guess that is why on the Android device the videos are smooth, it can handle the decoding.
I went through switching recently. Anytime you log in somewhere I would change the email of that account, and integrate it i to a password manager while being at it.
Bit by bit you become more independant from Gmail.
As a bonus I also started using a service like AddyMail or SimpleLogin, so that I have different emails for different accounts. Quite easy to use.
I am using Jellyfin daily, I do not think the UI needs any work to be perfectly usable. All I do is watch videos though, file sorting and naming I do in the file manager.
Outer Wilds, I am still struggling a bit with its time pressure component and am a bit overwhelmed by the choice of what to explore but it is still very intriguing.
I mostly agree with you about wanting to use a browser that is ‘[…] secure, privacy-respecting […] innovative […] caters to needs’ etc, however I disagree that using Firefox amounts to a lost philosophical battle. I also disagree that you can simply fork chromium if Google decides to implement harmful features.
Since Chromium is dominating the browser market, most (web)developers do only take chromium compatibility into account, making other alternatives less attractive. This leads to more domination of Chromium, making people dependant on its use. Most people will not bother with looking at other Chromium browsers and will just use Chrome as they are already doing today.
At that point, Google, who contributes the most code to Chromium by far, can implement any number of harmful but profitable features into the project. Downstream browser makers would then be required to maintain their own fork if they do not want to incorporate these features, which I am not confident is economically viable.
So I do not quite understand why privacy- and monopoly-conscious people today opt for a Chromium based browser while there are perfectly good alternatives that are not primarily based on the product of a giant (ad) company like Google.
Give FitoTrack a try.
It was not only about privacy but also about ‘[…]tons of implementation details[…]’ as said in the comment I linked above.
Vivaldi and the people behind it can be as privacy focused as they want, they still ship the product of a giant ad company as long as it is still chromium based. And therefore they support that companys monopoly on the browser market.
I will just leave this comment from a discussion about Brave. https://feddit.de/comment/2798144
Started Thymesia. Feels a bit less polished than other Soulslikes but still enjoyable.
It is a name for Elon Musk.
…and why at this point not just use Linux.
A modern game with anti cheat software.
Why do you do it this way instead of using the heroic launcher?
I am on Ravenswatch and Dead Cells
