I never needed to use command line, but I did hone my typing skills on MIRC and ICQ.

My Arr’s are unreliable. The trackers they search keep becoming unavailable for some reason. Flaresolver doesn’t seem to work with my VPN setup. Sometimes the file it finds to download turns out to be 54GB for a 1080p movie and I can’t figure out what the hell is going on there either. I haven’t got the time to look into Usenet any time soon. If I try to deploy something and it doesn’t work 100% right off the bat then the “wife acceptance factor” drops to zero, so I’ve got to be damn certain before I start tinkering.

This comes off the back of a device on my network causing router issues and making Plex unreliable for a couple of weeks. By the time I diagnosed and fixed the issue, the damage was done and wife acceptance factor was lost.

That is beyond the capabilities of normies.

My wife would agree with this:

And I’ve got Plex running on an always on NAS.

It’s all about finding the distro that works for you. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Ton of progress?

I would refer to that as “research ongoing but no progress yet”.
