  • Ubuntu and it's derivatives have the best Nvidia support.

  • I wish. People recommend Arch to beginners all the time. And then wonder why there's so many "Linux is too hard" comments everywhere

  • *directly responsible to the point of complicit

    This is what happens when coups go unpunished

  • You're the problem

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • I've been a lifetime Plex pass holder since forever. And that even covers my brother accessing the server? He doesn't even need one?

    Seems fair to me for a platform I use daily for a decade.

  • What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country?

  • Sponsor them, if possible.

  • Get to smelting!

  • Is it normal to be constantly scared about how your friend will react to anything about you?

    Jump

  • This is not a friend. You can do better. And should start now

    You owe them nothing. Cut them out of your life. You don't even need to explain

  • The biggest change from the Windows world will be the different interfaces to choose from. While they're one of the best features of Linux, the number of choices and strong opinions on the matter can be overwhelming to new users. And everyone in the community is certain that theirs is the best. Don't stress out about picking the "right" one. You can always change it later (especially if you choose something Ubuntu based). Pick one that has a large user base, good community, and excellent documentation. My recommendation would be Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

    Linux comes in many different flavors, or "Distributions". Often shortened to "Distros". The most obvious difference between Distros is the interface (or "Desktop Environment" or "DE"). It's not the only thing that sets them apart, but it's the most noticeable.

    I would recommend Ubuntu or any one of it's variants. The best variants (in my opinion) are Linux mint and Linux Lite. Linux Lite having the most "Windows like" interface. Linux Lite also has additional tools to install common programs that Windows users are accustomed to. Ones that don't come with other Distros by default.

    Until recently Ubuntu used an interface called "Unity". As of the last couple of releases, they have switched to Gnome. However, they've made gnome look a lot like Unity, so you should be able to follow instructions you find on the internet without too much trouble.

    Gnome has a ton of customizations available via the "Gnome extensions" website. If you're willing to relearn how to interact with your computer's interface, it's a good fit for someone who wants customization.

    Here's a good article with the basics of getting up and running with Ubuntu.

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • Seems reasonable. I'm a lifetime Plex pass holder, so it won't affect me or the one person I let access my server lol

  • What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday!

    Jump

  • Finally upgrading my Plex server from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04! I've been putting it off out of habit, as I always wait for the *.1 releases but I've done several of these for clients and every single one went flawlessly. But I still waited it out.

    Also thinking about switching my Ext4 mirrored softRAID to ZFS... Since Ubuntu has the only acceptable ZFS implementation outside of UNIX proper (Ubuntu's is in-kernel, everyone else uses kernel modules, which i hate). But that's going to be extra work I may not be in the mood for. But damn would compression and deduplication be nice! So still maybe

  • If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso?

    Jump

  • No. And that's a bad plan. Uncompressed them, and then reencode them to h256/x265 with handbrake (use the SuperHQ 1080p setting). That's as compressed as they'll get and you can still watch them without having to unzip them first
