    Bazzite is a SteamOS-like distribution. SteamOS is immutable, meaning most of the OS is read-only and have fixed updates.

    So what you are doing is not really what Bazzite is made for.

    I think it would have been an easier journey if you got Fedora or even Ubuntu, as those are normal filesystem distributions.




  • Yes, you can expose jellyfin via a reverse proxy or through a vpn like tailscale to your friends.

    Quality and speed depends on what client they use, what transcoding hardware is in the server and your internet speed. For most usecases, a newer Intel based CPU can do 5-8 streams at once without issue, so it will likely depend on your internet connection.

    I have an Intel N100 based mini PC on a 1Gbit/s upload connection running Jellyfin that I share with some friends. Usually 2-3 streams at once and it handles it well. Most of my media is in H264/MP4 with AAC audio, so they rarely transcode.













  • I’m not a Kubuntu expert or even user, so I will just list op the general steps.

    Boot into the live USB and unlock the encrypted drive. Make sure you have an internet connection too. Then chroot (change root) into the OS drive you decrypted and look at the logs from last update or even boot logs if posisble to determine what went wrong during the update. If possible fix the issue and complete a full update again (apt update & apt upgrade). Hopefully that should fix it.

    Does your PC have any known hardware that requires proprietary drivers, like Nvidia or Broadcom?

    Just to clarify. You system is not bricked. Bricked means that it can’t boot anything. It sounds like the update is not working correctly (eg the kernel is not fully loading).

    You have two options:

    1. Try to repair the current broken install (can be difficult depending on skill level)
    2. Backup your data and “nuke’n’pave”, eg re-install it all.

    Both options require a live USB with your distro on it (preferably the new version).
