Just to help her: what do you think PopOS is going to give you that Fedora will not?

It’s not for long term anything at all, it’s just running a live distro to poke around.

This is why I asked my second question: what kind of things are you looking to check out or compare? That’s helpful in pointing you in the right direction.

If you’re unfamiliar, there is literally almost zero difference between distros aside from very tiny customizations and the underlying package management system.

You won’t find some distro with massive performance gains for any average task. You also won’t find a distro with some optimization that is special that can’t also be applied to any other distro.

So if you find something you like about one distro, you just put that on whatever you’re running (unless you’re talking about package mgmt). Easy Peasy.

Ventoy or LiveUSB if you just want to poke around. There honestly isn’t much difference between all distros anymore aside from package management, and that is somewhat being a bit pushed aside due to portable package distribution.

What exactly are you hoping to find or test?

ls -lh /path/to/media/directory

And also:

ls -lh /path/to/media

To show the directory just above so we can be sure.

Then check what user the Jellyfin server is running as with: ps aux | grep -i jelly and it should show you, OR you can use the top command and sort through there.

What user is the Jellyfin server running as? Does that user have read permission to the media files it’s supposed to be serving on your machine?

You just need ffmpeg. Literally the industry standard, and you don’t need dress a pig up with slop BS.

Here’s an example: https://github.com/Jpja/FFmpeg-Detect-Copy-Motion

Tons of tutorials out there.

Comes here to rant about something…

Doesn’t even understand what he’s ranting about 🤣

Wanna give some details here, chief? Maybe someone can actually let you know what’s going on or fix it. What DE are you on, first of all?

3 times.

You always do it 3 times.

We’re all running high performance games through the same thing all the time now. Benchmarks best Windows in most cases.

You’ll be more than fine.

Wine, Bottles, Lutris…etc

Edit: this was a different kind of solution someone else sent me: https://medium.com/@pascalwhoop/how-to-get-lightroom-running-on-linux-with-webassembly-and-nativefier-a69dd9d9f647

It all is if you’re getting both. You’re sharing IPs with many different devices at the same time. That’s how it works.

Read up on it.

I think you’re missing the point or not understanding.

What you’re talking about is just running a model on consumer hardware with a GUI. We’ve been running models for a decade like that. Llama is just a simplified framework for end users using LLMs.

The article is essentially describing a map reduce system over a number of machines for model workloads, meaning it’s batching the token work, distributing it up amongst a cluster, then combining the results into a coherent response.

They aren’t talking about just running models as you’re describing.

But he didn’t

Dude…I’m not even eating my time with y’all who have zero clue as to how QA/CI/UAT works. It’s such a waste of time.

Steam/Proton is only tested for KDE/GNOME, and that’s it. Hands down. Not even up for fucking debate. It’s a FACT.

You can read the docs, repos, GitHub Issues, forums, and everything else you want. That’s the facts, and it’s not going to change. Just because it’s OSS doesn’t mean they have all the time in the world to make sure your edge cases work FFS.

If you’re using a custom WM, your experience is going to vary WRT to Steam/Proton being able to run properly.
