Most crashy breaky mainstream distro there is and always has been.
It’s barely tolerable.
But I did used to like the departure from blue themes like nearly everyone else.
kde, linux, busses, open source and the good old Grateful Dead.

Sites I have an account or password with. OR ones I use frequently.
Firefox for trusted sites, Firefox Focus for everything else. Adblock by default and drops all cookies and history when you close the browser.
I agree. But the last time I used ubuntu for a project recently I only tried to use built in functions, no modding. Never looks good when it throws errors trying to use built in features. Which always seems true with Ubuntu!
Ubuntu has never been remotely stable for me. Something stupid breaks or becomes difficult to get what I want out of it.
Been that way since it came out for me.
I find Arch much less hassle than Ubuntu ever was.
Just recently put Ubuntu on a machine for a work project. It was broken from the get go, throwing errors and being it’s usual shitty self.
I could never recommend it.
Fedora on the other hand has been on a spare laptop for about 6 months and I gotta say they really have put some polish in. Updates are frequent but reasonable and most everything works well. Some small issues but they are not show stoppers and Fedora is aware of them.
I ran Sid for years, I knew what it was named for and that was cool.
Lately though I have been wondering if they are going to run out of characters? Maybe it’s time to latch onto something else? I don’t know…
Why didn’t you take the laptop out while you were still inside the pub? And typically wouldn’t you use directions to get to the pub, and getting back is just going the way you came?
No osm and on Linux?
Its just open street map data. Use the routing tool on their web page.
Or make your own if you want to using gis.
Or use the beta organic maps flatpak.
Or KDE Marble has OSM routing as well.
Thunderbird. It’s great
I am not sure how to make it look shitty like Gmail, maybe you could theme it to wast a ton of space.
Seriously, do you want a useful email client or not?
Strawberry or Clementine. I mean 100K entries in a database is nothing. Even for SQLite. You can add multiple library locations, this is no problem.
You probably want Strawberry as it is newer and maintained, but I still like Clementine for the extra features that Strawberry doesn’t have yet. For you probably, not a big deal - things like podcast support, cloud support etc.
You misspelled Ubuntu.
Cool. I guess I was wondering if the package maintainer had set a configuration to pull those in automatically, or if Clementine was designed to do that. But in any case, thanks for the reply.
I looked and I do not see anything like that. Who packaged your version I wonder.
That is interesting. Now I am going to have to run Wireshark and see if anything is going on with mine.
Shame if so, it is the most feature rich music player.
Man Amarok was amazing back in the day, but that was many days ago.
It still might be good, and kudos for the effort, but Clementine has already surpassed Amarok. It would be nice to the effort going to either Continue clementine development, or make Strawberry as feature complete as Clementine and go on from there.
At that point you might as well go with a steamdeck. Works with or without the mouse/keyboard/screen and can play games. The desktop environment is full kde and ready to go.
Pyrosis did a great job answering a lot of your questions, I will focus again on why I cannot recommend plex:
Opt-In is not acceptable. You need to opt-out of: data sharing, data sharing with partners (unless you are in the UK or specific States), sharing playback data, stopping discovery together and activity feed, and turning off all of their live tv and streaming services.
Sharing streaming habits with others is not something that ever should have been opt-out. They keep pushing the line.
By the way, several of the “features” you mention are not included by default. Hardware decoding, downloads, DVR, etc.
I run both concurrently. I have a plex pass from way back when, maybe a decade or more.
What plex is now is not what it once was. Trying to socialize viewing habits, opting in by default to analysis, ads, reviews, and sharing that info has gone too far. Plex also works on these features such as discovery which benefits them, instead of open bugs.
That us why I can’t recommend it.
As for a feature comparison. Jellyfin is snappier, and faster. Plex is more detailed in their interface, and has better Metadata. Jellyfin sometimes doesn’t restart where I left off. Jellyfin is much, much better on mobile devices, but has less clients for tv’s. Jellyfin doesn’t rely on any server but my own, where plex wants to authenticate with thier own servers and ask for accounts (and money) to have full functionality. Jellyfin always downloads to a client. Plex…might. Plex has better handling of multiple streams in one file.
Because they are doing things in their best interest and not the end user.
As so many like to say here the enshitification is happening.
If you want to self host, plex isn’t it.
No, it would be more like a poor craftsman who doesn’t recognize it when a tool is crappy. Ubuntu is always on the way to breaking, or is broken at the get go. I remember when they thought 4 was stable. It was not nearly compared to most anything else at the time.
Even recently I had to install Ubuntu for a project because that is what the vendor supported. Several things were broken post install. Default Ubuntu stuff that should have just worked. Par for the course. If you get past that, of course the mishmash of Snap management for feature incomplete software can be very trying for a new user, when other distros make it easy.
