Best of luck, my pro tip is that learning by doing is a lot faster. Text based tic tac toe is a great project to get the fundamentals down. Text tetris is next for code organisation, reusable functions, interfaces and whatnot. After that it’s off to the races.

It’s easy to setup permissions and what files it can access and you don’t have to worry about an update making Jellyfin incompatible with your system. Might never be an issue and is a bit more work but it has perks.

If you’re on docker:

Could be that the path to the mounted disk isn’t exposed. (Test: Go into docker container with bash and try listing the movies and try doing a cat textfile.txt to check read access)

Could be that even though the path is exposed the media is not writable. (Test: Go into docker container and do a touch command and see if file pops up). Not sure if relevant but is relevant for Sonarr.

Not mounted?

It could have been mounted once but is not anymore. Not sure how Sparky works but on Fedora Bazzite I had to add fstab line to auto mount the drive on power up.

Generally the rule is that if Jellyfin can see and read the files it can play them and will auto add if the path is configured.

Lol, the reason why Linux is still free is because of the GPL. If BSD had better load handling efficiency, network stack and whatnot it would be used on servers more than Linux.

The kernel is a great platform that you can launch an commercial OS from like Android, SteamOS or ChromeOS.

Systemd handles a lot of mundane OS tasks, there’s a base implementation for wayland so you can get pretty far. You can also just slap KDE on it and focus on whatever is important to the user base instead.

Meanwhile I have a riced setup with programmer dvorak keyboard layout and shortcut heavy interaction which makes my computer almost unusable to normies.

You can also just do a sudo !! the !! is a shorthand for whatever you tried to run previously.

I play indie games a bunch, here’s my shortlist:

• Factorio (factory builder)
• Enter the Gungeon (bullethell top down shooter)
• Slay the spire (rougelike deckbuilder)
• Subnautica (underwater exploration/survival/base building) - nr 2 is in early access, publisher deal with Krafton so good for the devs they fucked up trying to get out)
• Megabonk (rougelike auto-shooting, 3d vampire survivors type)
• Outer Wilds (space mystery exploration)
• Chants of Senaar (language decoding)
• Return to the Obra Dinn (forensics)
• Dave the Diver (dive fishing/sushi serving)
• Celeste (2d platformer)
• Neon White (speedrunning FPS)
• Papers Please (soviet style document checking)
• Cuphead (metroidvania)
• Magic Archery (very short and solid incremental, free and unmonetized, very rare)
• Inscryption (deckbuilder)
• Schedule I (drug dealing sim)
• Hollow Night (2d platformer Soulslike)
• Hades (roguelite)

All of them are good and they’re mostly different types of games. All are tons of fun to play and most of them have a very charming art style (schedule I, and Megabonk Notably lacking there)

Out of these the absolute favorites are Factorio, Outer Wilds, Return to the Obra Dinn.

Side note, very important you stick with Outer Wilds until you find a major secret, people sometimes bounce off it and miss out on a once in a lifetime gaming experience.
