Xbmc plugins were garbage and the media scanner was garbage. You people are just forgetting how bad xbmc was, especially if you had it set up with something like sabnbdz which regularly would screw up wherever regex matching they were doing.
Oh, and was that software available in 2013? No? Right, you are just throwing shit against the wall because someone pointed out that Plex was the best software we had, for a reasonable price, for 10 years or so.
Lolol you clearly have no idea how bad xbmc was 13 years ago.
Not really. I bought Plex for $100 13 years ago.
Do you know how much time that saved vs fucking around with xbmc trying to get plugin to work and the media scanner to be consistent?
It was worth every penny and saved me hundreds of hours fucking around with libraries to scan in anime because it doesn’t follow the proper s01e01 format.

School apps and testing software has tons of DRM. And for good reason. That’s the problem.

I’m just saying, so this garage “it’s about tinkering”.
Big old case of Stockholm syndrome.
I can write and run hundreds of different server and service configurations, tooling, and standardized install experience though multiple packages, run ML, do ETL, etc, and it’s 90% the same and a mostly sane process that’s easy to learn, and quite marketable.
DE isn’t that. It’s garbage. It’s overly complicated, you need an indepth understand of the eco system and tons of components and even if you end up learning the stack shit is still just going to break because of the absurdly broad nature of the entire stack. And frankly none of that is a particularly good skillet to have if you want to be paid well.
There are 3 reasons to use Linux DESKTOP.
The former is predictable and well managed. The latter is chaos and pain.
This is pure raw copium. Dealing with csam is hard, draining, and expensive. Good luck trying to enjoy your vacation while complying with an FBI raid in a time manor.
Here I am thinking always means past, present, and future. What a fucking idiot I am 🤦♂️.
