  • Dumb idea: if the configuration is on a file, you can make it immutable. Something with chattr +i can’t remember. I take no responsibility if your server catches fire, and you may have to manually set the flag on and off if you want to add new media/change settings. It may be more complicated if everything is inside a “full” sql db

    As for the rest, either start jellyfin at boot or a custom launcher or kodi. I don’t know if plasmashell is still working, it can probably be configured to only show the correct stuff. There are also custom launchers for android tv








  • Happy Linux player. I play mostly single player so I don’t have many issues. For anyone thinking about switching

    • if your games are on steam it’s really easy to run them and most of the times you just have to install them and press play
    • if a game is new you may need to switch it to a newer version of Proton while the main one gets updated. It takes 2 clicks to open the compatibility settings tab and then you can select the version
    • if a game needs a custom setting to run you’ll probably read it on protondb and it takes 2 clicks to add it
    • go on protondb and log with your steam account to check how many of your games are compatible, gold or platinum means it’s good
    • compatibility gets better every week
    • mods may be harder to install
    • Linux is easy to use
    • Nvidia cards works well on Linux
    • yes, sometimes you may break it but you can also fix it. The official windows forum is a graveyard full of “you have to reinstall windows”
    • you can try Linux without installing it (but don’t use it for gaming or stuff that need reboots because live install lose changes)
    • dual boot works so you don’t need to drop windows immediately

    This is my protondb compatibility tab for around 1600 games

  • I simply don’t think it’s a move related to money, or at least not directly related to money.

    I open the play store less than once a month, if they remove fdroid I guess I’ll open it twice a month? How much money can they make for the 2 rows of sponsored apps they show me (which I don’t tap anyway) in the 30 seconds necessary to find an app and press install?

    People installing apks outside the play store are already a minority. Beside myself I think I know 1 person who may be using fdroid, maybe 2

    I guess it could be a really dumb monetary choice? You never know with corporations
