Oh, ok, thank you for that information!
But I must admit I am running into trouble again, because I'm spoiled by the ease of GUI:
1. When I installed the server from flatpak, it automatically opened a webpage when I ran it. That systemctl command doesn't do that so I don't know how to reach the webpage.
2. When I uninstalled the flatpak, I chose to leave the config files in place. They are in "/home/eobet/.var/app/org.jellyfin.JellyfinServer", and by doing some searching, the pacman install puts the config at "/etc/Jellyfin" (or "/var/lib/jellyfin" different search results say different things) but it does so with a Jellyfin user, and I can't open that folder even with sudo... apparently I need to start a privileged terminal, but I don't see how to do that on my Gnome desktop (I don't have a shortcut for it and no context menu has it and no menu option in my terminal app either).
Sorry, I'm just voicing my frustrations as a recent Windows migrant (and yes, I should have chosen something not-Arch based perhaps, but I went through four different distros before I found one where I managed to get remote desktop and samba up and running without issues).
