I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop (www.pcgamer.com)

It's really ironic that DRM on Netflix restricts Linux viewers to 480p. Why would anyone bother fighting with DRM when just pirating it gives you a 4K version that actually works?

Stremio + a debrid service works for just about anything mainstream enough to be on Netflix, is super cheap, and is very easy to set up. It's a no-brainer.

We still use Netflix on my kiddos' tablets since Netflix Kids has easy browsing of a curated library. Plus some of the more obscure kids' shows aren't always pre-cached on the debrid service and kiddos aren't independently able to load content for the debris service to download for them.

I'd like to set up a local *arr stack on a home media server, but I haven't gotten around to it. (Partly because I want to do it "right" and have 3+ identical HDDs to set up a RAID with a backup drive, but that's pricey.)
