I’ll also add that if you’re looking to replace the recommendation algorithm, you can use Last.FM, AOTY, RYM, or even Instagram (I follow a lot of artists and the recommended posts when I go to search something have actually been decent. really strange and perplexing)
Also, if you find any CDs you don’t care for anymore, see if you can donate them to your local library :)
So I recently terminated my Spotify subscription and moved my library to Jellyfin.
For my phone client, I use Symfonium. There are other options available (even FOSS options if you prefer), but I liked Symfonium’s UI the best. It also has a rolling offline cache setting that I find very useful. However, it does have a one time fee of 5 USD. But the client is completely up to your preference - no right choice.
If you care about Last.FM scrobbling, use something like Pano Scrobbler on your phone.
For desktop streaming, Jellyfin isn’t required. Use which ever media player you like best.
As for accessing your Jellyfin server outside your home network, Tailscale is an option. It was relatively easy to set up, even for someone who’s dumb with networking.
watermelon and salt is one of those things that sounds strange in theory, then you try it and you regret that you could ever think that way
Before they all changed their minds and supported return to office because of “their feelings” (aka ego), those people were known as “middle managers” and “senior leadership”.
I’ve been working on something for the Kirby community, but it’s taking me time. I’d say the art and personal projects are what takes the community to the next level
nice choice. i had the 6xx but had to sell it
what headphones did you buy?
I’ve seen a lot of people move to Mint or Pop_OS or Kubuntu. They’re Debian based so updates are pretty stable.
I personally ended up with EndeavourOS using the KDE desktop environment. I have a steam deck, so this felt very similar to me. This is Arch based so sometimes updates break things, but I’ve had more success here.
Also remember that no distro is problem-free, but neither was Windows. The longer you commit, the easier it gets.
EDIT: If you’re hesitant to fully commit at first, I also recommend dual booting with Windows. Over time you’ll use it less and less until one day you feel like reclaiming the disk space.
