I had zip experience self hosting home lab or with linux. I messed around in ubuntu for a couple weeks then just ran the commands on the jellyfin documentation for setup.

It mostly just worked. Web ui started right up and i loaded my library. So glad i never touched plex.

So as i started to list out all software on my windows box to check for linux support i cane across a game. HBS battletech 2018, with the battletech advanced mod. Is a overhaul. They have linux instructions but its not a guarantee.

Thank you for the recommendation! I will add it to my list.

So i have ubuntu, mint, and pop os running currently. And unraid if that counts.

Could you toss out 3-5 solid distros that good for gaming compatibility or general use? I will look up cachy OS. Also id i may ask whats up with pop os? Drama in the distro?

I have many linux distros running in the house for servers and self hosted software but the one box i havent swapped yet is my daily driver system. Microsoft is pushing me ever closer but with some titles still not supporting linux and getting to the end of a day i just want to game not debug something.

Its getting close though. Fuck this timeline. I looked at Pop OS and bazzite as out of the box gaming distros but am open to anything.
