I was wondering if you ever tried jellyfin, since you mentioned paying for plex.

it’s a cool thing you’ve made, but where’s the joke?

Even if you don’t normally look at linked sites, you gotta read this one.

Not an answer to your question, but have you checked out Bedrock Linux as opposed to installing multiple distros? Or maybe using virtual machines?

don’t mind i but personally always use index or x, y, z for games
