Do you think Aurora is a good choice for beginners? A friend of mine wants to switch and I’m still looking for a good match.
It should be immutable, use KDE, have Nvidia drivers pre-installed (or a UI for installing them), not be maintained by a single maintainer and should not have non-OS applications like Steam pre-installed.
Aurora so far seems to be the best choice.
You had me at “No Java”.
Most modern OLED panels on TVs and monitors don’t actually use classic PWM for dimming, they never turn off completely and instead fluctuate between like 100% and 95% brightness based on the refresh rate.
Did you ever test if you can see that as well at different refresh rates?
rtings always tests this under “Image Flicker”. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/motion/image-flicker
It’s not considered flicker-free but the OLED panels listed with 0 Hz PWM frequency (most of them) should look fine.
However, there are two other elements that might cause issues:
Both can cause an unpleasant experience if you are sensitive to it.
Phones still commonly use PWM because it uses less energy. There are some that have a DC dimming option but it’s rare.
It’s amazing. With my black theme, a black background, and the mouse off the monitor, you can’t even tell the thing is on.
I have a solid black color as background and a hidden task bar on my OLED monitor.
It’s just a mouse cursor floating in nothingness.
Maybe an e-book reader like KOReader? https://flathub.org/apps/rocks.koreader.KOReader
Plenty of them support local HTML.
It’s nice to read something sane in these threads.
Arguing on the internet with a guy that’s rude does not get me anywhere.
I see we are going nowhere here. You do you, I do me.
and you’re trusting this WAY too much.
I don’t need to trust because I know how it works: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/blob/767ee2b5c41ddcceba869981b34d3f59d684bc00/Emby.Server.Implementations/Library/LibraryManager.cs#L538
Tools like shodan will categorically identify EVERY jellyfin instance that scanners will run into.
They can’t. Without the domain, the reverse proxy will return the default page.
No. Read the whole thread.
I did.
If your path is similar to my path
It does not need to be similar, it needs to be identical.
There are 1000s of variations you have to check for every single file name, with 0 feedback until you get a hit. After you have gone through all that trouble, you can now confirm that the file exists and do great things like retrieve the cover art or the subtitles. None of which is incriminating or useful.
All it takes is for one angsty company to rainbow table variants of their movies name to screw you completely over.
My threat model does not include “angsty company worried about copyright infringement on private Jellyfin servers”.
Why bother scanning the entire internet for public Jellyfin instances when you can just subpoena Plex into telling you who has illegal content stored?
You are reading too much into the issue linked.
In order to actually abuse any of the unsecured endpoints, you need to have knowledge of the domain, the media/user/stream IDs and media paths. You don’t get those unless you have a user on the Jellyfin instance and brute forcing them is not practical. If you trust the users you add to your Jellyfin instance, there is not much risk in exposing it to the internet.
Those issues definitely need to be addressed at some point, but it doesn’t make Jellyfin exposed on the internet open to anyone.
- jellyfin didn’t like when files used periods instead of spaces.
At least that can’t be the problem since my entire library (except music) uses periods instead of spaces.
Then again, I spent quite some time organizing my library when I first started using Radarr and Sonarr. Ever since those manage my library I had no issues in Jellyfin.
Wow, I haven’t used Plex in years but this reads like some Windows 11 installation guide with all those checkmarks and hidden options.
There must be something about GNOME in particular that some people love, and others hate.
GNOME is heavily opinionated.
As such it gets praise from people that share that opinion and gets hate from the people that do not. Many other DEs are much more configurable, giving a broader audience the possibility to adjust everything to their liking.
(grateful for flatpaks for once!)
That’s how I run my system right now. Fedora KDE + pretty much everything as Flatpak.
Gives me a recent enough kernel and KDE version so I don’t have to worry when I get new hardware or new features drop but also restricts major updates to new Fedora versions so I can hold those back for a few weeks.
I made a similar switch as you but from Ubuntu to Fedora because of outdated firmware and kernel.
You can install repacks pretty seamlessly in Bottles.

Create a gaming prefix, move all installers into the prefix and hit “Run executable” one by one for each installer.
Although if you can afford it, Baldur’s Gate 3 devs deserve the money. Great game and available DRM free on GOG and Steam.
You don’t have to use the terminal, if you installed regular Fedora with GNOME, you can just search for “Sound” and it should come up with this:
If you installed Fedora KDE you can search for “Sound” as well and it should look like this:
Do the audio settings show your onboard audio device?
Did you manage to install Linux to your second drive?
Does Hyprland work well for gaming compared to KDE? Can it do HDR, VRR and so on?
Always wanted to try a tiling WM but was afraid of losing features.
