I know this is an unpopular opinion but I love YouTube and it really bums me out to have to drop it. My home account has been heavily curated over the past two decades and it’s pretty rare to see a video on my homepage from the shitty part of YouTube…now I’m getting ads and just closing the tab. I have a separate account just for listening to music on my work laptop and I’ve found a ton of new artists through it, too…not sure what I’m gonna do once it starts getting ads, too.
I have a Nebula subscription but only like 1/3 of the channels I watch are on there. And obviously none of the music
OP is using Jellyfin. I don’t think they’re planning on subscribing to Apple’s monthly services.
AppleTV (the device) is cheap as fuck for what you’re getting because subscribers is the real money maker for them. What feature rot do you speak of? I installed AppleTVs for years and the only functionality my clients ever lost was when they forced iCloud integration for awhile. I also think it has by far the best remote of any streaming device but that’s personal preference.
I use a heavily-blocked Roku Ultra so it’s not a fanboy but you’re like…a reverse fanboy. Hating on it for the weakest of reasons
AppleTVs are really nice. It’s easily the best streaming device for the layman and I say that as someone who generally dislikes Apple’s products. It’s solid, small, and is fairly easy to integrate.
An Nvidia shield costs more money than an Apple TV. Unless you need those extra features, it’s a waste
It’s insane that you’d recommend an Android TV, though. Shit performance and data harvesting galore. Never connect your tv to your network.
Non-emulated AutoCAD and Ableton with full VST support are two big ones. Last I checked there were still ASIO driver issues with my audio interface (Scarlett 18i8), too.
I know things have come a long way since I last mained Ubuntu but I’m not interested in jumping through hoops to get it going even if it’s “possible” when they work natively without issue on Windows.
I mean you’re basically saying “it’s different for everyone so do what you want” which is very different than calling OP spineless for wanting to play games that don’t work on Linux. I’m not arguing that the best games require Windows or that nothing else is worth playing - I’m saying it’s arrogant and idiotic to insult someone over wanting to play.
I figured the “open source gods” line would have given away that I was being hyperbolic.
We’re talking about online multiplayer games. Unless all of your friends are in the same camp as you, have fun playing not playing with them.
DRM, especially the always online kind, is shit. I get that and I agree. But to act like OP is weak for wanting to play the games that have it is EXACTLY the dismissive shit that turns people away from the FOSS community. It’s gross and I hate it, get off your high horse (not you in particular) and have a real conversation with a person who comes with an earnest question, don’t tell them they “buckled”
No idea but I’d imagine it’s even worse there
