For the same reason I wouldn’t want a Linux client on Windows. It’s not made for it.

Valve/Steam can do it. Is there some excuse or reason why it’s unacceptable?

And Steam is downloaded the same on nearly every distro. The package is just an install script that translates any differing filesystem layout between distros. It all comes from Valve.

I’ll buy when there’s a native linux client.

Until then, “arr, maties!”

…and no, I’m not having a morality discussion about piracy. I do it full-well knowing it’s wrong.

Beats me, I only browse reddit over TOR.

…and lemmy.

I’d still use JF if no one else did. It’s convenient for streaming. The alternative would be maybe kodi and samba and that’s three steps back, two forward imo. I use xmpp for notifications a lot, its close integration with the server its on allows for using it kinda like ntfy.

I use XMPP, and the original idea was for it to be a family chat and a way to securely ask for things on Jellyfin.

No one uses it. (XMPP, not JF)

What’s better?

No one cares. They know it’s a hassle to ask for media. They know they can only ask me in person if they don’t use it. They just won’t bother installing a client. Can’t be bothered.

Oh well, I can’t be asked, then. So we sit in this perpetual state of tug of war. I can’t be contacted, it’s complained about, the situation is explained again, they complain again, and still never resolve the situation.

Going on three years now.
