Usually I expect to have to troubleshoot problems with Linux (lemmy.ml)

I've been daily driving Pop!_OS for about two years. I've had to troubleshoot and look up how to solve problems here and there, but it has largely been pain free. About eight months ago I had to dual boot Windows 10 because my wife wanted to play Hogwarts and for the life of me I couldn't get Linux to stream to the client connected to the Xbox controller and TV upstairs.

Well, today she goes to boot up the game, and the lag is beyond terrible. None of the settings I try change anything, and even trying Sunshine/moonlight instead of Steam Link is only a bit better. I decided to try booting the game in Linux, and lo and behold, the game is once again liquid smooth via Steam Link client, and whatever issues I ran into 8 months ago are gone.

I'm not used to Windows being the OS I have issues with.

What is worse about jellyfins UI? I prefer it to plex.

And in some instances, like on my tablet the player is so much better. Slide up and down for volume and brightness, tap to go forward or back, or even change the player to something you like.

So I got to think it's an issue with what your client is?
