  • I completely agree. I thought Plex would be fast in the collective rearview mirror as soon as they started forcing connections to their servers, pay-walling, etc. I also had issues with the database corrupting and causing huge slowdowns. I spent days trying and failing to preserve my ratings, watch data, etc.

    In the end, I switched to a much simpler setup of an NFS/CIFS share accessed by Kodi on my Nvidia Shield TV. If Kodi chokes (happened once since 2017), I can just wipe the app and/or reinstall and then import the local metadata (XML or NFO IIRC). That takes about five minutes. It just works. Kodi also gives me access to the IAGL, so that’s a huge plus.





  • I’m running Nobara 42 (Fedora-based, created by Glorious Eggroll, the Dev who makes GE-Proton, responsible for the best gaming experiences on Linux presently) right now to get my 9070 working with Steam.

    Having the 6.13 kernel wasn’t enough, as my former distro (MX) wasn’t planning on adopting Mesa 25.x for several months or longer. Every week or so, Nobara grabs newer Mesa builds and kernel updates and things work better. At first, HGL was black screen and audio only, but that only lasted a week.

    Try it out and see what you think. What have you got to lose?





  • Have been using TrueNAS for 13+ years since the FreeNAS 9.x days. Can attest to its bulletproof-ness in my case.

    Would second asking in the iX forums. I’ve managed to get replication help directly from iX staff before when using the forum. You shouldn’t have this issue, and you will find answers.

    I’ve moved my disks to a completely new machine with fresh install and then import my config, reboot and everything is as it was. I’ve also done the same without my config and imported the pool with no problems, just need to recreate shares, and any jails (a feature which I no longer use) would need to be reconfigured to be 100% functional.
