Don't forget the AUR. It's so much easier to use yay than it is to go to GitHub to manually check for updates/download/install a deb or rpm file.

but after fresh install

See, there's your problem. If you never re-install this is longer a factor. Sure I had to do those things, but I had to do them exactly once like 8 years ago...

Yeah I had to double check as well. It actually does elaborate.

"AMDGPU PRO OpenCL - used because Mesa OpenCL is not fully complete. Proprietary component only for Polaris GPUs. The onward GPUs use the open ROCm OpenCL."

So for anything newer than the RX 500 series (anything after 2017) it doesn't matter for OpenCL it seems.

From what I can gather the OpenCL stack used to be proprietary, but they decided to open source it when ROCm came along. So the Pro driver used to be more important and now it's really only necessary for AMF since the Vulkan and OpenGL portions are straight up worse than mesa.

if you need some OpenCL improvements

As far as I can tell mesa and the proprietary drivers both use the ROCm packages for OpenCL. I don't think there's actually a difference on that front.

You are looking for GOverlay with vkBasalt. You can configure various filters and I am pretty sure it's on a per-game basis.

16GB should be the absolute bare minimum with 32GB being standard at this point.

There are at least 20 different options to choose from, surely one of them has what you want. And that number is only going to rise. Saying it never will is extremely short-sighted.

When was the last time you tried it? Up until recently I have had issues but I've been using it for the last few days and it feels good now. All of the problems I had with it the last few times I've tried it (drag and drop not working, copy-paste being weird, fractional scaling) have seemingly been fixed.

So yeah, first question is whether or not there is a way to migrate all of that data.

JellyPlex-Watched is exactly what you are looking for.

I don't think there is a way to migrate the posters but I could be wrong.

Is there a way/tool to do this on jellyfin?

For audio and subtitles there is a setting for Jellyfin to remember which ones you want for a specific series so you select it for one episode and it will keep using it for subsequent episodes. No external tool required. I'm not sure if they are enabled by default but you can find "Set audio track based on previous item" and "Set subtitle track based on previous item" under the Playback settings.

The audio track language/title is often either unamed or named inconsistently, so it often never works. And for subtitles, you have the same issue, except you have to also include the fact that there can, and usually is, two or more English subtitles for dialogue, signs(on-screen text), commentary, etc.

Part of your problem here is also just bad sourcing. If the releases you're downloading are incorrectly labeling their tracks those releases are probably not worth grabbing. I would avoid whichever ones those are. When they're done correctly both Plex and Jellyfin (and almost any other player) will correctly select Japanese+Full Subtitles or English+Signs/Songs automatically.

So basically, what are my options for direct-play with jellyfin, if any?

Jellyfin Media Player on desktop, Findroid on Android, Swiftfin on iOS.

It’s 2023. Every device I own is more than capable of playing every format, codec, etc that I could possibly need.

That's not Jellyfin or Plex's fault. Especially with anime most is in HEVC which is not supported by most browsers because of patents/licensing issues. Chrome and other Chromium based browsers added support recently but if you use Firefox that is probably the issue.

When my Internet shits the bed, will I be able to keep watching my stuff, or will jellyfin throw a hissy fit and refuse to work, like Plex does.

All accounts on Jellyfin are local so it works perfectly fine offline. My internet actually just went down for a couple hours yesterday and Jellyfin was the only thing I was able to watch.

And any other tips and tricks for migrating from Plex to jellyfin without having to do countless hours of manually configuring/editing my massive library, would be helpful.

One recommendation I have is just run both Plex and Jellyfin at the same time. You can point them at the same folders and they won't interfere with each other. Then if you end up not liking Jellyfin you can continue using Plex. Something that also helps with recognizing files correctly is if you include the imdb, TVDB, or TheMovieDB IDs in the file names. If you use the *arr apps they can rename them for you. For example all of my files have names like this so it is impossible for them to be misidentified:

Monogatari - S02E01 - Karen Bee Part 1 [imdb-tt1480925] [tvdb-102261] [Bluray-1080p] [x264] [FLAC 2.0].mkv

Blade Runner 2049 (2017) - [imdb-tt1856101] [tmdb-335984] [Bluray-2160p] [x265] [TrueHD Atmos 7.1].mkv

Glad you went with ADB. Yeah it is more complicated but I agree it does feel better to have it completely disabled. Luckily once you do it once it is easier to do again. I just recently did it for a TV and a Chromecast, and the first one took me 30-40 minutes to figure out while the second one took more like 5 since I knew exactly what to do.

Still check out Button Mapper if you want to map the YouTube button on your remote to SmartTube. And if you are looking for any other app recommendations there is one called S0undTV that is basically SmartTube but for Twitch if you watch any streams.

Get FLauncher from the Play Store then either use Button Mapper to make the home button go there or use adb to disable the existing launcher. Completely clean home screen and can be done in a few minutes.

Pipewire has been so good to me that I didn't even notice it hadn't had its full 1.0 release yet.

That is the exact opposite of what needs more seeders.

You can manually import them to the correct episodes. You should be able to go off of episode names. Sonarr uses the TVDB and that is also what Plex/Emby/Jellyfin use normally so those are the numbers you probably want.

I have found that most torrents on rutracker are pretty well seeded in general, even the old and obscure ones. It is always the place I go when I can't find something somewhere else.

Check rutracker, I see one that has 1.0.7.0 in particular.

To be fair it's the exact same bypass as any other Steam game. Any steam emulator would work.

For codecs it is highly dependent on the release group. For 4K it is the only valid option, but for 1080p a lot of groups make their x265 encodes too small and sacrifice quality. Take a look at the group rankings in the trash guides for sonarr and radarr for a general idea if who is the best/worst.

As for Tdarr, you should only really use it for audio and subtitle processing. For one you should not re-encode video so unless you're starting with remuxes you're further degrading video that is already degraded. And for two it's best left to the people who know what settings to tweak for each movie or episode. There is no universal setting that works well for everything so while you might be able to get acceptable quality with automation it's never going to be great. The best groups already took the time and effort to get it right so you might as well get those and save yourself the time/electricity.

That was part of my reason for linking it, and also why I put "convert" in quotes. It really is just Arch pre-configured and with some themes and some extra utilities.

I actually didn't know they had their own repo until I took a look yesterday and not only is it tiny but it seems to be mostly themes, configs, and/or tools. I don't think they even have alt versions of existing packages, just additions.
