A valid point, the main issue at hand is that the iPhone is locked down to Apple’s approved store - you can’t just install things like a regular computer. That’s really the core of the lawsuit regarding the insane 30% cut Apple forces on their mobile computing platform.

This is by far the better solution, use GE:

Jellyfin equivalent which doesn’t require a subscription for your own media library.

Steam isn’t a monopoly.

The PC is an open platform, you can use any game store or launcher you want - unlike the iPhone, Android (without sideloading), PlayStation, switch, or Xbox.

And costs a yearly subscription, also random features get removed every month.

Use SwiftFin app instead on Apple TV, but better than the Jellyfin app.

Simple, no ads, and handles HDR super well

I’m sure google will fix that in chrome, like killing adblocker functionality.

Less HTTPS = easier government & advertiser data collection

This is an advanced setup, dual boot is far simpler for a new Linux user.

I’d settle for Apple Intelligence not turning itself back on with every iOS update.

Yeah this doesn’t work anywhere in Office apps

Never in my entire life have I wanted to paste with formatting into a word doc, and you always have to click the stupid little clipboard icon after you paste to undo it.

Highly recommend wlxoverlay for monado, for me SteamVR overlay never has a working desktop view so I can’t see my monitors.

It’s been broken for years and valve will never fix it: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/426

Just FYI, use Monado for VR, SteamVR is a massive pile of trash on Linux.

Corporate nets use 802.1X authentication, risk of a DHCP hijack is very low.

As someone who works in large corporate networks, we absolutely don’t assign static IPs outside of core network gear, it’s impossible to manage a fleet of servers in this way with scaling in mind.

Instead of doing a manual action in two different places and having to keep them in sync, just do it once on the DHCP server. Setting a static IP on the server is superfluous.

good general advice until you have to try to explain to your SO the VPN is required on their smart TV to access Jellyfin.

don’t do this, use DHCP reservations instead so you actually have a list of all your servers and most routers register hostnames in DNS for you which is even better.

I run an RPi4 at 4k30 and it does well.

In my opinion it definitely is, parsec is missing features on Linux.

A modern RPi can run it pretty well with hardware decoding. Also something like an nvidia shield.
