In all seriousness, it is a bit of a steep learning curve. But, distros like Mint or Ubuntu make it a lot less overwhelming. It's a mindset change and you have to be mentally ready to type out commands into the terminal to get intermediate to advanced things done, like setting up a media-server or a minecraft-server.
I second this sentiment.
Why don't you start off your linux journey with Ubuntu or Mint instead of Debian ?
A lot of things just work out-of-the-box in those two distros for most hardware. Debian is great, but it does require a bit of configuration to get it going.
Mint and Ubuntu are the most beginner friendly and have the best packaging support of all other distros (except maybe Fedora ?)
Getting jellyfin up and running is a breeze in either of these distros it's really a one-liner in the terminal.
I'd don't remember if the script also opens up the default jellyfin port in the
That'll take time. You can use that time to turn off all the bloated ad & spyware ... until the next windows update rolls around and turns everything back on again. Or you can use that time to figure out how to get jellyfin and your minecraft server up and running on Mint or Ubuntu.
