Seconding this experience with Mint 21.3, although on a laptop here. I just wanted something that works without much fucking about, and it delivers.
Fleddit in June 2023. Was on kbin for a while but it’s been broken and janky lately, so I’m giving midwest.social a try now.

Yep, I only noticed because I got prompted to update when I ran it today!
It took about a week to generate for my library without hardware-accelerated MJPEG generation, at the default resolution in the Trickplay configuration. I let it use 8 threads but CPU use was close to nothing the whole time, even with priority bumped up to above normal.
It wound up consuming about 10GB of storage by the time it was done, for a library of 2.6TB. My library is mostly 1080p stuff, a mix of h.264 and x265.
Mine’s been running for about 5-6 days now, also not a huge library. I’m running Jellyfin in an LXC container on a host with 16 CPU cores. Started with 4 cores, but have bumped it up to 8. I have noticed that when it is generating the Trickplay images for h.264 content it only uses about 8% of the available CPU resources. When generating images for x265 it uses about 60-70%.It doesn’t seem to matter what the priority for the trickplay job is set to.
I assume I should probably wait for my multi-day running Trickplay task to finish before attempting an update, right? :)
My library isn’t huge (in my opinion anyway, a few hundred episodes of TV and maybe 100 movies). My Trickplay job is about 16% complete after 3 days, lol. My AMD iGPU doesn’t appear to be supported for the MJPEG stuff so I don’t get GPU acceleration, but I have Jellyfin set to allow 4 threads for generating Trickplay images, and am running on a 4-core VM that sits on physical hardware that isn’t slow at all. Looks like even though it is using 4 threads it is still only using one of the cores, as CPU utilization for the ffmpeg process doing it is always at about 25%.
At the rate my Jellyfin server is generating trickplay images right now the Android client might have support for them by the time it finishes.
I use one of those tiny mini PCs, with an AMD mobile CPU in it. It sips power but has enough oomph for transcoding when necessary. I’m sure the NAS that my library actually sits on uses way more power with its mechanical HDDs.
I run mine in an LXC container. I just snapshotted it in case of disaster and then ran apt update && apt upgrade.
I’m guessing it has 3GB of ram and 256MB is being eaten due to being shared video memory.
Kinda surprised the Russians have any to spare.
Just remember that what passes for ‘center right’ in Ireland would be seen as super leftist by American standards.
Now that gaming is effectively a solved problem thanks to Proton, Adobe Lightroom is just about the only thing keeping my desktop PC on Windows. My laptop is already running Linux. I’ve tried the FOSS alternatives but none of them fits my workflow like Lightroom. This is a me problem more so than a problem with any of these pieces of software.
Jellyfin is excellent. You can always just download it and run it on whatever you’re running your existing setup on and give it a try. The server’s available for a bunch of platforms.
I have a regular-ass Amazon Fire TV stick 4k max that I use to play my Jellyfin content. It has native hardware support for h.265. I can’t remember the last time it needed a stream transcoded. Of course, it is encumbered with the Amazon ecosystem, but it was cheap.
I also have one of those $20 Walmart Android TV boxes. The UI is a little slow in it but it plays the same Jellyfin content just fine, and you can replace the stock launcher on it with whatever you want.
Currently playing: Yakuza Kiwami, released 2016. Yep.
Same here, except on Mint. Once it becomes stable with Cinnamon I’ll be happy to use it.
They’ve also made noises about the sale of Alaska to the United States by imperial Russia being illegal. Good luck with that, shitheads.
Free software that essentially lets you roll your own Netflix.
These things keep getting cheaper too. I just received an RG35XX H from Aliexpress with both 64GB and 128GB Micro SD cards for a whopping $47 shipped.
