As the name suggests, it helps manage metadata for data.

I don’t mean to be rude but this is like the most generic description possible. What kind of data? What kind of metadata? “Manage” it how?

Mint requires installing the proprietary drivers after installation, which is easy to do.

I could do that. I’ve never actually tried Mint before. Do you have a link or instructions?

I didn’t even realize there was such a thing…

When using a very recent AMD discrete GPU that is not yet well supported by recent versions of Linux distributions, AMD recommends the most recent release of Radeon™ Software for Linux®.

I know how to use rpm-ostree but thank you.

I don’t use Google.

telling your friends and loved ones to switch email providers over your crusade

1. It has nothing to do with email

This is why I use Yunohost. It makes all of that just a “click buttons” affair. Then you can tell your Mom the same thing. Only the domain is yours so Jellyfin can’t hold it over your head.

I feel like I know the answer but what happens if you click “I do not agree”?

I don’t see anything that makes it more suitable than Mint or any other distro.

Dead link

local IP camera video.

What’s that?

I’ve never even thought of VLC as a streaming media player.
