I feel pretty much exactly like OP. It (Mostly) Just Works, and has for almost 20 years.
Also like OP, I think the snap transition has been thoroughly screwed up. It is the only reason that makes me - on occasion - long for Debian. I wish Canonical would just cure itself of NIH syndrome and drop it entirely. (Not necessarily in favor of flatpak or appimages, either. I like debs.)
I started pirating 30 years ago, sharing floppies. Since then I've gone through every method imaginable, from IRC to eMule, from Mega to Usenet, and the Arr setup is the very first time I can delegate downloads to another family member sitting on the couch: that's how smooth it is.
The only difference to your setup is that I use Jackett instead of Prowlarr, configure NZBGeek directly on Sonarr/Radarr, and use Kodi instead of Plex.
Ah, and nzb360 (or LunaSea) on people's phones. That's what makes it so any normie can use it. So long, streaming service salad!
I'm in the same Witcher 3 situation, except I haven't been able to get past the hurdle. By coincidence I tried it again yesterday and... "Ug, what do those runes do again? Nah, lemme try the Mass Effect remaster instead."
Loved it the first time around, but just started on the remaster and am wondering if I'll stick with it. The fact it looks like a modern action RPG but doesn't act like one might throw me off - in particular with regards to the control scheme.
Spent many tens of hours on V.S. Little gem of a game. At first I thought it was stupid, but it hooked me nonetheless, lol. Haven't tried the DLC, yet.
I did try Halls of Torment, though, which is basically the same deal plus being able to aim in a direction other than the one you're traveling in. Tens of hours there, too. :P
Halls of Torment. Awesome little roguelike/bullet hell. Very recent release, I know, but it feels as retro as they get.
Was probably my favorite game - let alone favorite adventure - when it came out. The music is fantastic, and so is the story. I remember some puzzles being a bit too goldbergian, but as you say, nothing that a walkthrough can't alleviate.
That may very well be true, but it doesn't account for all use cases. Such as mine, where the computer actually serves more than one account, and as such doesn't automatically log in on boot.
I was actually very happy to find OpenRGB supports the server/client scenario. It fit perfectly for the service/user scenario!
