From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Moving to Linux, need help about homelab distro (lemmy.world)

Hey, folks I'm moving my main PC to linux soon, and for that I have settled on Mint. However, I also plan to build a homelab pc for the first time to selfhost some services, mainly Jellyfinn, some game servers, and possibly next cloud, but I'm unsure which distro to go with for that.

I have some experience running debian headless (on an orange pi) and I can use ssh and the cli just fine, however, I also want the server pc to (maybe) serve as a moonlight client in my living room, so I was leaning towards something that is not headless, and I am unsure if I should also go with Mint for that or if something else might be more suitable.

How good is invidious? At the moment I’m pulling all of my videos in with TubeArchivist and that’s been hit or miss with getting blocked by YouTube. I also don’t watch my videos fast enough so they get backed up.

It has been absolutely fantastic for me on the iPhone. Using Yattee and my own instance is the perfect combo. I’ve never had any major issues. Things work no problem. On Android, I just use revanced and the smartube next on the tv.

The experience, at least in my case, has been the same. Invidious is very hit or miss due to YouTube’s methods of blocking connections, one day my instance will be working perfectly fine and the next will drop some obscure error. While my instance is technically public, it is only exposed to 1 country and even then hardly gets any hits off of my reverse proxy.

Thankfully they tend to update pretty frequently when YouTube starts acting up on a large scale.
