It has GURU, but it is nowhere near as big as the aur. I had to package like 2 or 3 things for myself because they weren't in any of the gentoo overlays.
Gentoo taught me a lot though, so I highly recommend experimenting with it at least in a vm.
I mean, gentoo is just rediculous. You can change your init system and it won't mind.
I agree with you.
It works better for me though, especially because I never paid for plex pass, so I don't have access to hardware accelerated transcoding on plex.
UI though, has never really been all that big of an issue for me. If I can navigate quickly, I am good.
I can say with certainty though that the plex roku app is way better than jellyfins.
Hey that isn't how you convert people to the cult of NixOS

Assuming you're not joking, you have it the wrong way around. Gentoo is arch on steroids.
The shear amount of customization and raw power you have from from gentoo's use flags and how easy it makes it to compile a custom kernel is insane. On top of all that your system is insanely stable. If a package isn't in the repos, it's not difficult to package it. It is certainly way easier to write a gentoo ebuild over an arch build script.
Out of curiosity, what features are you missing from #jellyfin?
While it is definitely amazing for cluster deployments, Nix, the package manager behind the OS came out of the creators PhD thesis.
It is quite a successful attempt to make builds completely reproducible. NixOS, is what you get when you build a distro around a package manager, rather than a package manager around a distro.
I use it as my daily driver these days, and haven't had any issues with it for gaming, and due to the way its package manager works, I prefer it for development over anything else.
It is the most stable and unbreakable system I have ever used, despite using the unstable repos. It also has the most up to date repo on linux. As far as unique packages, it is a close second to the AUR, but it is catching up.
It isn't for everyone, and may be betamax to containerization when it comes to software development, but for the time being, I cannot see it going away anytime soon.
I like it, but don't expect it to save you any time unless your managing 3+ computers.
Or just use the #nix package manager.
I personally use #NixOS. The declarative nature of it is so nice.
It enables me to share common configuration between different computers while still allowing host specific differences without relying on hacky solutions like #chezmoi.
Not knocking chezmoi, it's great and I used it for years, I just prefer the home-manager module for NixOS.
They justify their telemetry as it helps them to decide, "the best places to allocate dev time to improve the platform."
IMO, this info almost never necessary to help improve the platform. Usually if a feature isn't well used, it will get less dev time, ignoring the fact that it mght be less used because it isn't well implemented. The converse could also happen, they allocate dev time to a feature that isn't well used to try and make it more used, which might ignore the fact that it is quite frankly a useless feature.

I learned a long time ago to never question godwin's law of usenet...
@PeruvianSkies @spacesweedkid27 @stepan
Yeah, phrasing your problem as completely and concisely as possible is definitely important
As the other guy said, because they are way cheaper. I use them for media storage.
For 20tb of hard drive storage, you could expect to spend $400 (probably less these days), but the same price will get you a 5th that on ssds (maybe more these days)
If you are streaming video, hard drive read speeds are good enough.

I get where the #Arch communty is comng from with regard to the help vampires thing, because I deal wth it on a daily basis.
People just tend to prefer to ask instead of lookng things up, which won't get you far when trying to learn something.
However, if you cannot find the answer, ask, and I almost guarantee someone will help. I never had issues with arch, but with #gentoo, I had a few really obscure issues that the forums helped me solve.
A lot my issues regard gentoo were just me not reading ALL of the documentation...
You can't expect everyone to remember single bit of the documentation, so some tolerance should always be expected, especially if that issue cannot be solved by searching the title of it on google

You might want to try it again, I haven't had any issues really and I am using hyprland these days.
