Very nice, I do hope that helps us finally get a Linux version sometime soon lol

+1 for bazzite, if I wasn’t a NixOS cultist it’s probably what I’d still be daily driving. Stable, easy rollbacks, keeps itself updated as long as you reboot now and then. Just a great experience all around.
Atomic distros are still distros, op never excluded that particular kind
Damn, I didn’t even realize that was doable lol. At least the nix part, the rest definitely sounds like stuff I might’ve accidentally done myself while learning the ropes.
Based ngl
Right, thanks for the input. I used to use it for unimportant stuff like game storage so it’s entirely possible errors just went unnoticed 😅
Said drive is a new one for media and regular everyday usage, not the existing backup drive according to the OP. Btrfs is more than stable enough barring specific RAID configurations, at any rate.
Yeah I guess exfat is the way to go then, it’s how I handle my external SSD rn as well
Edit: Also, I’m not sure how well btrfs handles external drives. Didn’t realize that when I suggested it.
Ah, now that’s a scare! Glad you mostly managed to recover at any rate.
As for the fs to use, exfat is probably a safer bet but btrfs is also an option. I’ve used winbtrfs in the past and it works surprisingly well.
I don’t suppose you’re thinking of the system BlendOS uses, right? It’s the closest I can think of based on your description but it doesn’t seem to fit the timeframe.
No such thing, we all start somewhere! :)
Anyway, you could in fact do that if you were thinking of trying out other Fedora Atomic images such as Silverblue and whatnot (see also the ublue page listing tons of others, including your bazzite!). This uses different tooling, so unfortunately not in this case.
Lol I appreciate your self awareness! That sounds just like the kind of questionable idea that’d be great for a joke GitHub repo, if nothing else.

I just came across this GitHub issue and sure enough, it seems to confirm my theory. Since it doesn’t show on KDE’s media center, it probably doesn’t know to pause it before going to sleep.
I saw at least one person with your exact issue, and a few suggested workarounds but not sure how easy it’d be to apply them to an actual Nix derivation. I’ll keep looking into it. 🤔
Right. I’m a fellow Jellyfin + NixOS user so I’ll try and investigate if I manage to find some time over the next few days. I’ll report back if I find anything of note!
No worries!
The check box for this settings was infact already checked. So maybe if I change what happens when I close the lid, from sleeping to hibernation or something else this could fix this maybe?
Ah, I see. Guess you may as well give that a go. I’m guessing what might be going on here is KDE doesn’t count it as a media player for whatever reason. Are you using Jellyfin in a browser or with the dedicated Jellyfin Media Player app?
Some quick research on my end seems to suggest there’s a setting for that scenario in advanced power settings called “Pause media players when suspending”, I’d try that before anything else
Edit: As for why it happens, assuming it woke up from suspension/hibernation, for the most part programs are going to pick up exactly where they left off unless the system goes out of its way to tell them to perform some action (in this case, pausing). Since your lock screen is pretty much “on top” of the entire running system, so to speak, it results in the behavior you’re experiencing.
I second home-manager, it was my Nix gateway drug and I can’t recommend it enough!
I wouldn’t say unusable but NVIDIA definitely makes things way more painful than they ought to be with their closed source drivers and general stubbornness to support newer technologies under Linux, see Wayland. Mint’s generally older packages also might be working against you.
In my experience, I’ve had the smoothest experiences with gaming focused/adjacent distros which just include the NVIDIA drivers out of the box, such as Nobara or Bazzite. Those just work for the most part with no user intervention, and you don’t even have to think about it.
It does, yeah. Still, having access to the official client too would be nice.
