    Plenty are running home servers from laptops, especially here on the fediverse that’s not unheard of… It should not make any difference what hardware he’s running for jellyfin. Still honestly not a pleasant experience to get it to run from what I recall.

      Oh yeah no I’ve seen as home servers with a built in UPS. Their usecase sounded like they where using their daily driver laptop though.

      Usually highly energy efficient as well.

      Still honestly not a pleasant experience to get it to run from what I recall.

      Who hurt you, was it windows ? (mostly joking)

        I’m no OS fanatic… I run dozens of rhel servers at work, few windows ones, make music on Mac and play on steamOS and keep a windows on a box due to hardware limitations on music instruments.

        So I’m no stranger to Linux.

        With that in mind some packages are more of a pain to setup than others… and that one is not a good memory. I rolled back to plex in the end…
