Because I’m forced to use a Mac at work. So to avoid their terrible UI, I use the terminal for most of the things. Then switching back to Linux is relatively easy.

Also it is faster in most cases and it’s keyboard-first.

It does. What concerns me is the sign “up to 2TB”. And I don’t understand if it is a limitation of preinstalled os or hardware.

It is not even a joke. Every time we cross the border between the Netherlands and Belgium in a car, we laugh about how distinct it is.

This is really good, do you know if I can plug my 4tb m2 ssd in there? If yes, I’m moving tomorrow😁

Even France is there

From your list, I would go with Debian. Fedora is amazing but doesn’t have LTS, so you’ll need to update it manually quite often. You can use a script for automatic updates, but I rarely had it working smoothly. Ubuntu is just a joke with repository hell. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone but grandma or a child for the desktop, because of its simplicity. TrueNAS never tried…🤷

I would also look into Alpine and some Arch-based distros.

And yes, use containers, this will save you time eventually.

The only real requirement you have for the Jellyfin server is ffmpeg… But this thing runs everywhere

I bought their subscription just to watch it… A month after they decided to remove it. It was the main reason for me to set up my home media server with torrent. They’ve got what they wanted, I pay pirates instead of then

Well… it is a quote powerful wifi6 device and I get problems only with files 30gb+. My question was mostly about the internet connection affect in this case

Is it done SaaS or do you have your private setup? Also what about the speed? I stream 20gb files over wi-fi and can experience issues with stream lag time to time

I’ve just finished my setup with Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyfin, qBittorrent and nzb360. I’ve paid 120€ for proton vpn for 2 years, 200€ for m2 ssd for 4tb and a few bucks for domain to access my setup from anywhere. Also, I have a 1gb internet connection for 65€ pm…

So, I’m willing to pay… I don’t want to spend all this time configuring scripts and integrations(though it was fun 😁)… But paying for Netflix, Prime, HBO, Disney+ and not being able to watch everything I want, simply makes me angry and miserable.

Duck them all. Arrrrr
