However, it’s not ready to dethrone Windows

Is this how we define “the year or the Linux desktop”? The year when the market share is larger than Windows? That’s setting the bar a bit high, no?

For me, the year or the Linux desktop was 2007 or so. That’s when I started using it instead of Windows. 🤷‍♂️

Reading through these pages makes me more and more confident that I made the right choice moving to fish shell some years ago. It’s so simple, yet still powerful. I don’t miss anything in zsh that I don’t have in fish, and more.

Curious about what that broken-cursor thing was about. Anybody know?

Ah yes. Very much a feature “no one” asked for, I imagine. At least not I.

But luckily, I’ve been largely unaffected by that addition. It’s been easy to ignore so far.

SimpleX is another alternative. There are so many popping up that I can’t keep track anymore.

In what way do you consider Firefox to have enshittified itself?

At least they’re self-aware.

🥴 Sounds too complicated for me, thanks.

Does that synchronize with Google Calendar?

This all still doesn’t address the first thing I wrote:

Jellyfin with the same library takes mere seconds before I see the first movie/episode poster cards.

Why can Jellyfin perform perfectly on the same hardware? Very snappy. It’s obviously not the hardware’s fault, but more a lack of optimization — and testing. If they tested/dogfed their app on WebOS at all, they’d know it’s ass.

Edit: I just did a quick research on this in the Plex forums, and it seems like a lot of posts detail the same experience as mine: Plex used to work great until a year or more ago where it just turned into an unoptimized mess where even stepping left or right to a different poster, or button, has like a 1+ second lag.

It’s very clear this is Plex’s fault. It wasn’t always like this.

Every single post is ignored by Plex and automatically closed due to inactivity (from Plex). They don’t care.

Ah okay. Yes, it seems to be indeed. 😅

How do you explain this? Every other app is very quick to load on the TV… Plex is the only issue.

If you use a dedicated streaming device

What do you call a TV? The streaming isn’t the problem, it’s the loading or processing of data from the server, and/or transitions between views, that are the issues here.

Streaming is fine. Once I start a 4K HDR 5.1 movie with direct play (full quality), there is no issue, even when seeking. It’s only the browsing and loading/displaying of data that is super slow. And only on Plex.

Yeah dude. Besides Plex, the TV is FUYOOOH! 😙👌

❤️ I’m sorry it’s affecting you (all) in this way. I agree that the double standard of Israel is just utterly incomprehensible. How can they do unto others the same atrocities done unto them. I just do not understand.

I agree. Especially with so few words in the title, and such a broad topic.

No rain here. ☀️👍

What TV is that? I have an LG OLED TV from 2019 running WebOS, so that’s the version of Plex I am using.

My Plex library loads instantly on my phone and on the web.

I am using the Plex app on my LG TV, to be more precise. That’s the WebOS version of Plex. On my phone and on the web, it loads instantly.

Want to give us a short summary of what we’re clicking through to learn more? Would be neat. There’s very little info before visiting the link.

I don’t know if I’m asking too much but it’s nice to get a little primer before moving through.

I would probably still want to use Plex due to its superior interface, despite this shit they are pulling. But Plex on my TV is so UNBELIEVABLY slow. I have a large library, like almost 14 TB and still growing. But there’s no reason it should take almost a minute (or more than?) for the first content to show after starting the app.

Jellyfin with the same library takes mere seconds before I see the first movie/episode poster cards. It’s inexcusable how poorly optimized Plex is.
