So I’ve been messing with my corporate laptop...

This is what we call a "bad idea".

yeah, at ~100mbit speed tests you almost certainly have a bottleneck somewhere. 100mbit ethernet adapter is a good place to check. Also verify the ethernet cable you're using. I've found some "cat 5e UTP" were missing the "twisted pair" part and that prevented it from reaching gigabit link speeds. The next is any switch you may have in line between phone and router. Next is the router. If the router has 100mbit switch ports, you're bottlenecked no matter what you plug into it.

This right here. If a bit of soap and scrubbing takes off your seasoning - you didn't have real seasoning in the first place!

Can't speak to anti-cheat, but I've run a Windows 11 VM with GPU passthrough on Proxmox. I got basically identical performance from the hardware, considering the reduced ram/cpu count in the VM. USB port passthrough was glitchy though. I didn't spend too much time messing with it but it definitely was functional. Battlenet (World of Warcraft, Overwatch, etc...) worked fine. I don't recall any game that didn't run but, again, I didn't do too much.

Yep, didn't mean it to sound like I was putting it down. Sounds like a cool concept.

Just signed up myself, about 40k in line it seems. Sounds like reinventing Trillian/Gaim/Pidgin/etc...

NAS vs Jellyfin isn't really how to look at it. You still need to have the files stored somewhere, and Jellyfin can just access the files from wherever you store them. As others say, Jellyfin adds some convenience. Think of it like Netflix but for your local files. You can install an app on your phone, laptop, tablet, or just access Jellyfin's built in web interface on laptop/etc... It pulls down thumbnails and show information automatically, and you can set up different accounts/profiles to track show progress and favorites for multiple people.

I wonder how many files I've accidentally left that in while I wasn't in vi.

I haven't used it in a long time, but Overdrive has info here.

I had zero "production experience" when I got hired for my first UNIX/Linux sysadmin job. I however had years of experience hosting my own Linux systems for desktop and server projects. If you don't have experience, make it.
