Even the old 1060 in my truenas scale server, has worked absolutely flawlessly with my jellyfin server.

Exactly. And even though I absolutely love love love linux,it’s unfortunately just too unpractical for me to daily drive it on my main PC, as things like photoshop and 3D modeling software like fusion 360, are just too unstable on linux, despite the amazing efforts of projects like wine. They are pretty damn close and I’m sure they will eventually be perfect or at least almost so, but untill then I’ll have to run Windows on it (which I also don’t hate as much as some do, as I believe it also has its pros like the almost unparallel backwards compatibility, as we’ll as it’s negatives).

I also game and I’m so so happy that Linux is as close as it is to making gaming perfect on linux. I play like literally two games that eather didn’t work perfectly, or not at all on Linux, when I ran fedora on my main machine for over 6 months a few months back. It really is amazing what things like proton have done to Linux gaming.

I’ll keep occasionally trying how linux does for my main PC, and until I find it to be good enough for me I’ll keep running it on my home server and secondary laptop. Last time I tried it was damn close, I’m really expecting it to be only a couple years untill I move to linux as my main OS.

What we really need is Photoshop in Linux. Yeah the free alternatives are super cool and definitely fine for lighter and more occasional use, but unfortunately I just don’t think they’ll ever be good for professional and more advanced hobby usage. I really fuckin hate adobe but at the same time Photoshop just is really good. We really do need a real competitor to Photoshop though, be it paid or free because Adobes business practices are getting ridiculously bad.

I’m super glad davinci resolve exists for video editing. Obviously not 100% feee and open source, but again it’s hard to believe a completely open solution could ever compete with adobes offering as well as davinci does. It’s both super nice to use, you can use it free or pay the imo very reasonable price for the professional license, which includes free upgrades for life! And wait, it also works on linux!! Almost unbelievable. I only wish it had h264 support on Linux for the free tier, but oh well… Nothing’s perfect :)

Good example of good intentions with a bad or suboptimal outcome. I really hope we can get a standard like that eventually.
