This screams Kodi to me. But I haven't looked at HTPC stuff in a while since I set up a RaspberryPi to play old western movies on shuffle to keep my Alzheimer's riddled father entertained.
There are addons for Kodi that would let you use Emby and YouTube, based on some quick searches

Watch me how I fork this P.P.O.S (pozzed piece of shit) into C++ to only allow male, female and "it" pronouns.

I hate how much of this stuff is written by trannies, but at least the description that this "weighs the soul of your connection" sounds cool.
I don't know, the feature set for this already seems pretty good (A)

This is pretty much LibreELEC. It's a minimal Linux distro that has just enough to boot up Kodi. It can do 4K and HDR on the Pi hardware, but it also supports standard Intel/AMD machines and some other embedded boards. You can load any standard Kodi plugins on it.

Last I checked the Kodi plugins for Emby sucked, but that may have been jellyfin. How does it handle switching between servers? It would be in a bedroom TV and for various reasons being able to access the porn server is necessary

Have you thought about keeping your coomerism in your pants a little better? Seems like a more worthwhile time investment to work on that than on Linux IMO.

If we look at the big contributors to Linux, it's coomers all the way down. Betonhaus is just trying to step up his game.
If you aren't willing to crank it in the living room, I don't think you deserve a porn server. I can't speak to the switching servers, I've never used Emby myself
SorryBut if you wanna share your emby servers I could sample the experience.

Yesterday, AUR got hit with some more malicious packages. Seems like there's just some dude just uploading fake packages and hoping to get some bait.

I’m somewhat new to Linux, and have been using Linux Mint 22 for just over a week. Any tips and suggestions?
Nothing related to Wine/Proton, I have already figured out how to use those.

I will die on the hill that even if coded by trannies, this is still better than the absolute shitheap that is cl*udflare.

Not just a tranny; a furry schizophrenic tranny. Worked for Tailscale until recently.
The software is released under the MIT license so I am unsure why users doesn't change it in production. Haven't looked into it. Unsure why people have to be subjected to the trannys fetish.

Because that would require forking (technically) and manually managing it, as opposed to just installing a package and forgetting about it, I imagine.

One thing I feel like people forget about when talking about snaps vs flatpaks. Is appimages exist. IMO that is the actual answer to people wanting to install packages that wok on any linux distro. And do it in the windows way. And generally if you have the stuff needed to use appimages. I can't rememeber, but it might just be the fuse2 drivers. They will just work by themselves. That or if you just use a tarball. Which is the more traditional method. But I do think it might not be as self contained.
That said, the linux way of installing packages is better. Being able to type:
if you aren't a complete nigger is way faster. And generally way less likely to lead to the kinds of security issues people commonly have on windows installing random shit. Of course their can still be security issues in certain circumstances. But the things that need to happen to get them, are way more advanced, and way less likely to effect a normal desktop user, especially when you are using offical repositories.
That said. If you like openrc especially, I do think alpine is a good option. Especially if you want lightweight. It was made for embedded systems. And it's used a lot for containers because it's faily minimal out of the box. While it's still pretty useable.
And one of the things that makes it annoying if you are running on a desktop, but nice in those contexts is they split their packages up into smaller versions. Keep development libraries separate. So you only end up taking up as much space as you need to run a program.

Yeah basically. Since in general for a server I don't think people tend to really care if things get feature updates, or bugfixes. And in those cases it actually can make sense to try using debians backport way of doing things for the package that the newer version is need.

That is actually one of the things that gave me a distaste for debian. There were a few other things. But something similar annoyed me quite a lot. To the point I decided it's just easier to use something else that doesn't do all of that stuff for me. Because undoing it is way more work.
Don't forget to use crunklords +nigger license.Watch me how I fork this P.P.O.S (pozzed piece of shit) into C++ to only allow male, female and "it" pronouns.

"waifud", "enbyware", "made with nix"
This might be one of the worst repositories I have ever seen. Do they really think people find them spreading their gross BS everywhere on any unrelated project "cute"? Or is grossing people out part of their kink? If anything I think this shows that the kernel mailing list should remove the anime "waifu" images like the Arch Wiki did.

I had to do 9 captchas for this link, if all Linux news is this pozzed I'm installing Windows 11 and drinking myself to sleep.
Until then, is there a good resource for how to set up basic security for a desktop? I remember reading a recommendation to isolate program capabilities to a user and delete root and do everything through sudo, but I have no idea how true any of that is.
