GNU Guix

WDYM the repos are very slow?

i’m using it as a daily driver for a couple of years now

it is built so that non-free packages can be made easily available (e.g. the non-guix channel). being sort of a meta-OS, already a bunch of operating systems were built on top of it, arguably easier to just get started as a novice

As a counterpoint to the majority of answers here, I’d love to suggest GNU Guix as the best answer. Like Nix, but enhanced for freedom with a formidable governance model. Built on freedom. Built to last forever. Also easier and more beautiful

oddly satisfying

a rather odd choice given the alternatives

control it from any whuAT!?

Just go for it! It’ll be fun. You will find yourself navigating your digital life (or at least: most of it) at relative ease with less distractions and graphical fuzz you otherwise get.

Getting to know terminal multiplexer (like screen) or vi-keys are crucial skills for anyone who is not afraid from working on “headless” machines!

yes, this will not be used by myself directly

oooh, i almost forgot about the sacred list! thanks for the reminder, looks like there’s quite a bunch out there!

this is more a preliminary search and the result will not be used directly - but i’ll try and come back with information on choice and the reasoning behind it

you will need to make sure that jellyfin uses a version of ffmpeg that actually uses your graphics card - you might need to compile ffmpeg with the corresponding flags

Always remember: Losing is fun!

How far have you gotten yet?
