Hello Jellyfin Team,
I have eagerly read the details about the changes leading up to version 10.9. While I have only minimal programming knowledge, I have extensive experience with Linux and networking. I would like to assist you in testing and identifying any issues. I have a few general questions regarding this.
The announcement mentions abandoning Ubuntu non-LTS, which is completely understandable to me. Currently, I have Jellyfin running on Ubuntu Server 23.04. This Ubuntu Server system has been a headache for me for a long time, and I had already planned to switch to Debian. Now seems like the perfect time to do so.
The announcement only mentions Ubuntu and RPM-based distributions. Will Debian (Stable) be supported in the long term?
I plan to set up a VM (on my PVE) with Debian 12.5 to test Jellyfin unstable.
One question regarding my libraries: They are not located on the Jellyfin machine itself but rather on our file server (Debian 10, ALDS, LDAP) and are mounted via SMB. I assume it would be safest to copy a portion of my library to a new share and test Jellyfin Unstable with that, correct?
Lastly, regarding the timing, should I set up the test system immediately or wait until after the feature freeze?
