Linux@lemmy.ml•Solved: Switching from Windows, but slightly convolutedEnglish
6·8 days agoAs others have suggested it is probably smarter to just backup windows onto a portable hard drive, or you could do Windows2Go which is finicky but do-able.
Also you didn’t ask what distro, but I have been enjoying Fedora Kinoite it’s a very smooth transition (and improvement) from Windows.
This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.
Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is there a selfhosted option for webcomics?English
3·25 days agoKapowarr is for comic books, OP is looking for comic strips.
That said it should be great for finding collected editions.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are my OS options if I wanted to disconnect my TV from the internet, use it's remote via CEC with a Raspberry Pi, and watch Plex, Jellyfin and YouTube (with sponsorblock)?English
2·2 months agoAh ok I got it thanks, yes the goal is to replace the apps on my TV as seamlessly as possible.
KDE bigscreen says it supports CEC but there is no official release yet. I still might give it a shot. I actually tried the Android TV you linked to (which also says it supports CEC) but it doesn’t work. I know the hardware supports it because Libelec was seamless.

1·2 months agoYou’re saying wayland is an interface that works with tv remotes and hdmi-cec? I looked it up and it seems to be not that.

1·2 months agoI mentioned in the post that I did try LibreELEC but the Plex plugin is very buggy and there is no functioning youtube plugin.

1·2 months agoThanks, I found a LineageOS build of Android TV I’m currently trying to get it up and running. CEC seems like it might be broken however which would sadly be a dealbreaker.

3·2 months agoOh cool, thanks, it works with hdmi-cec? Android is not an issue exactly, I basically just want something to replace my TV “apps” but without ads and more private.
EDIT: did not fully read the comment. I have a raspbnerry pi.
I fully agree with this comment. Aurora (or Fedora Kinoite, very similar) is the first Linux I have been able to use full time. It should feel familiar and like a breath of fresh air to a longtime windows user. Immutability allows me to tinker without feeling overwhelmed.
Haven’t tried Bazzite but my understanding is that it works just fine as a deskop OS too!

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•FFS Plex, the server is on my local networkEnglish
21·2 months agoBut there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.
It’s for image recognition. Nothing sad about it. Great feature.
