    Windows is only intuitive because that’s what you have experience with. If you grew up on macOS or Linux, you would probably find it as confusing as you do Linux right now.

    But yeah, it’s a learning curve, and self-hosting on Linux generally requires a mental shift from thinking of things as “apps” and moving to “clients” and “servers.” On Windows, the two tend to be mixed, because managing servers on Windows kinda sucks, but the opposite is true on Linux.

    But yeah, do one thing at a time. Get comfy with Linux first, and then learn about self-hosting stuff (including Jellyfin).

      I dont know what to do with linux to get comfortable. Outside of doing something like jellyfin, which is basic to most people, I would just be browsing.

      Tbh I cant even get my ps5 controller to work properly to play games.

        The PS5 controller should work out of the box on pretty much any Linux distribution, at least through Steam. If you have trouble, ask on [email protected].

        And Jellyfin is a bit complex since you need to host the server, so don’t feel bad about that.
