I’ve been wanting to do the same at some point just not satisfied with Jellyfin and Finamp enough.
Ending 14 hour shifts. Good for them that’s too much in a day especially if they have family they are supporting
when I was in uni like 5 years ago I put arch on the school provided laptop. Not saying to use arch but iirc I had to compile ue4 for Linux because a pre compiled binary wasn’t available. It had issues compared to windows.
Always hid it anyways.
