It runs in #GNOME or in a headless #server environment and is easy to configure a local apt-mirror repository, link persistent #VM images, customize package lists, and so on. I've been daily-driving this on my laptops/desktops/servers for 2 years.

A nice perk of using a configuration like this is that it eliminates the need to upgrade your system and be concerned about migration issues. To upgrade, simply re-flash the boot drive to the newer OS version and use the same script to configure it.

I created a tool to make it easy to customize a #Debian Live #Linux environment for real-world use, enabling optional persistence and numerous quality-of-life improvements to an immutable OS. Boot up, run the script, and you're done.

@kev LineageOS with GApps (required for Google Fi)

@Cirucci Ouch... that sounds really defeating and I'm sure you put a ton of time into creating those scenes. I've had something similar happen to me before, which prompted me to save all my scenes/profiles in a private GitLab repository.

Here's an introduction to the MNT Pocket Reform!
https://mntre.com/media/reform_md/2022-06-20-introducing-mnt-pocket-reform.html

As someone who has held a variety of tech roles, it's near impossible to align even the majority of my expertise and interests within a single job title. Job hunting has got to be my least favorite thing ever.

@tgpo Totally reasonable reason to miss those days, and you're still rocking a super high percentage! I slipped for several days as well, but because some personal aspects of my life were very intense and I simply forgot to do the challenge. I'm at 80-85%... but it's a new month and we can both make it to 100% for February!

#LinusTechTips published an objectively solid review of #Jellyfin vs #Plex (& a little #Enby). If you're in the camp of owning and #selfhosting your own media server, I hope you check it out! Also, if you're interested in contributing, Joshua Boniface (Jellyfin's project lead) also left a video comment describing several technical and non-technical ways to get involved.

@thelinuxcast Sounds good! I also converted to Jellyfin from Plex. If you ever run into problems, the Jellyfin community is very helpful at r/Jellyfin or #jellyfin-troubleshooting:matrix.org

@thelinuxcast You're in luck - there is an official Jellyfin desktop client: https://jellyfin.org/downloads

@thelinuxcast I typically recommend Jellyfin for client-server self-hosted media streaming and Lollypop for local media organization and plugin integration.

Sometimes, done is better than perfect.

@Venn Well, they do say "don't knock it before you try it," so I'm withholding my judgement.
