    Pretty cool. If there was something between this and standard bloated Win 11, I would love that. It took me forever to uninstall/block half of the garbage that comes with the OS. It’s gotten ridiculous. Tiny 11 sounds like it scrapes just a little too much.

    Yeah, yeah, I have Linux on another machine, but there are a number of things that I’m not technically proficient enough to figure out on Linux. He’ll, I’m still struggling to get Jellyfin to work remotely.

      Remotely as in from another computer on the same network, or from another network? Cuz connecting from another network will take some extra steps (usually forwarding a port on your router). The Linux communities on here are pretty receptive to questions if you’re stuck, too

        Both. I was pretty tired when I last checked. My initial YouTube search turned up a bunch of installing other apps. Setting a port number…sure, I can do that. Installing other apps and settings… That’s a headache.

        I’ll make another attempt when I get the energy, but thanks for the direction.

          The other apps (probably sonarr/radarr/jellyseer?) are for downloading content, for watching what you already have jellyfin alone will do the job. The only other one you might want is an avahi client, so that on the local network you can connect with [pc’s name].local:8096 instead of 192.168.0.whatever:8096.
          Usually for jellyfin alone its enough to install it (from apt, assuming you’re on a Debian based distro), make it auto start with sudo systemctl enable jellyfin, and then turn it on with sudo systemctl start jellyfin. That should be enough to see it running from your local network, although you might have to use your local ip if avahi isn’t on.
          Anyway no pressure to jump back into troubleshooting this, just wanted to say it so you don’t feel like whatever programs youtube was recommending are mandatory.
