All the catches

I’m saying I don’t think there is in this case. I’m not sure what the use case would be simply because you could use any other tools for this specific job.

It’s like asking for an “offline browser” in a sense.

Just use NocoDB or a spreadsheet or something.

Offline first for online content? Whoa buddy, where’s this Moon you’re asking for?

Seriously though, you need to be realistic when you’re asserting your wants for a service or tool. Everyone builds tools to sync bookmarks and save lists now, because that’s a feature that users want. It’s going to be difficult to find something that is “offline”.

Try using a memo app maybe? Lots of password managers have the ability to save links, and would technically be “outside” the browser if you want them to be.

Yup. Same with any other as well. If you don’t want to use Steam, I think a lot of people find Lutris and Heroic simple.and functional for all levels of user, and they also include the ability to run Steam Runtimes and Proton versions pretty simply too.

All of these launchers run Wine under the hood, and are a good abstraction on top of that entire stack. Just makes it super simple to manage.

TLDR: use a prefix manager instead of plain Wine

You can install them anywhere, but if you’re using plain Wine, I’d suggest you instead go with something that will manage these locations for you.

Each Wine setup has what is called a “prefix”, which in the simplest sense is just a folder that is setup like a Windows C:\ drive, and includes all the shared libraries and bits needed to run the game. When a program run is launched, it is locked into this prefix, so when it goes looking for files as it would on Windows, it’s going to find a familiar folder structure, including installed dependencies like MS VC libraries and DirectX stuff.

Now…when you as a user are just using Wine directly, you’d generally be using the SAME prefix to install multiple games, which is hard to manage, and just clunky.

Prefix managers like Proton, Lutris, Bottles and even Heroic will make a new prefix for EACH program, making things like troubleshooting, switching runtimes, or invoking custom configs per program a LOT easier.

It’s a Flatpak. Did you give it proper permissions to use this hardware?

“Does a Shit Sandwich taste better than a Turd Burger?”

Nobody cares.

Not sure what someone with only 2% total vision would even be able to see, but whatever they would use on Windows has analogous tools on every DE in Linux. Just ask them what they currently use: magnification, high contrast, screen reader…etc, then set those up for them. Also make sure to get whatever hotkeys they use in their workflow as people with visual impairments rely heavily on them.

You run the instructions for Gnome already, or not at all?

May want to try installing Waybar. The default one in Sway has issues like this.

These types of apps became fairly irrelevant with the advent of Web Fonts and sites that already do all of this.

There’s Fontbase, Gnome’s Font Manager, KDE’s Font Viewer and FontForge that are still maintained.

The fact that you’re asking for whatever tool to not use something like QT or GTK is asking for the moon here. These types of applications you describe are generally packaged with a DE for this very use. I don’t think there’s a real use-case for someone to develop this independent of any DE, honestly. That’s what they’re most useful for.

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.
