Fwiw - I have both an LG C2 and a newer Samsung QLED. Neither have ever been connected to the internet, never pester me to connect, and the both turn on right to to my Apple TV

My LG C2 which has never been connected to wifi starts up in maybe 3s. Boots right into my Applw TV and I never have to see LGs software

My personal setup for 4 rooms worth of speakers is a rpi with a Hifiberry hat running debian with Mopidy. I use the Iris plugin for a front end and i mount my music directory via cifs on each pi

+1 for cosmos

Glad I stumbled on this thread, i had the same problem. Protip if youre not using a config file and using env vars instead you can use
INVIDIOUS_DOMAIN and INVIDIOUS_EXTERNAL_PORT instead. Works great for docker

I got with Ancient Egyptian Deities for everything. (See: my username).

I tried Umbrel and i hated it. I switched to Cosmos and its great

No all the apps are running through docker. Some apps run in docker with vnc

Cosmos is my favorite. Its a bit newer, but it gets in my way less than Casa or Umbrel

Thanks for this write up! I was looking for something to replace volumio/hifiberryos and mopidy with Iris is a great combo. I couldn’t get the subsonic plugin working too well (the plugin seems a big half baked and the maintainer doesn’t used anymore), but the local plugin works fine over smb.

Yup! Somewhere along the line they improved how it tags and fetches show Metadata. Now the default setup is great

What about Fossify Calendar (a fork of and currently pretty identical to Simple Calendar). It’s honestly the best calendar I’ve used

Jellyfins pretty great. It’s much simpler than Plex and has quite a few less features, but it does what it does really well

As far as games from this year Alan Wake 2. Im not done with it yet but it’s making a solid case for being my favorite horror game of all time
