Here’s an Ars story on the same issue. The link should work.

The creator believes the
“better way” to use Linux is to spend time learning how the distro and its package management works before customizing.

That sounds like a recipe for homelessness to me.

Pure Arch isn’t going to give you what you want. EndeavourOS is probably a better option. Nice installer, a relatively kind and helpful community on their forums, and you can use the Arch wiki to fill in the gaps.

Per their website, everything in the Pixel line apart from the 10a is supported. They will be supported as long as firmware and security patches are available. https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices

Mine works on PopOS which is also Debian/Ubuntu like Mint. There are some instructions here that may help. https://www.8bitdo.com/steam/#pro2-popup

Lots of x86 machines are hitting the curb this week because they won’t run Windows 10. One of those with a Linux distro installed will do what you want. Follow the directions in Jellyfin’s documentation and you should be good. Adding your devices to a Tailscale network is the fastest way to be able to access your content outside of your home network. FireTV has a Jellyfin client and can also be added to Tailscale.

Last I checked, Roku doesn’t have a Tailscale app. So unless Tailscale is working on your router the TV can’t see the desktop’s Tailscale IP.

I have a similar setup, and Roku only works if I connect to Jellyfin with the LAN IP. If your desktop isn’t on the same LAN – wifi or ethernet – it won’t work.
