  • A kind of similar thing happened to me where I added a music album. It had some weird duplication issue where 2 album entries were created: one entry with all the proper metadata that did not correctly link to the files and one with no metadata besides song names that did link to the files. I had to remove all the files of the artist from my library so Jellyfin could completely remove the album entry. Then, when I added the artist back it read the album properly without duplication.

    TLDR try removing the entire show and waiting for Jellyfin to wipe it from the library



  • Like the other commenter I also had wildly flickering frames. Overwatch in particular was stuttering back to some previously buffered frame when the framerate was either below or above a sweet spot. I was also having issues with KDE Plasma bars that I assumed was a KDE issue, but they went away with the new GPU with no other software changes than swapping drivers. I was on a GTX 1080 which was still going strong with the games I played












  • Another vote for Arch. Manual Arch install was an interesting, and positive, experience. I did it multiple times so I could better understand what was actually being done. It helped me understand the boot and EFI partitions because I wanted to dual boot Windows.

    For Arch itself, I’ve had a way snappier experience with pacman than apt and the AUR is a really convenient resource. So many packages there that you would otherwise have to build from source.

    Bleeding edge packages can cause problems, but there are ways to recover. downgrade from the AUR makes downgrading packages really easy. The latest Nvidia drivers caused a bunch of problems with games for me on Wayland so I downgraded them and the Linux kernel and added them to pacman’s package ignore list.
