Hi r/distrohopping, I need some advice.

I've been on CachyOS as my first linux distro and my dip into linux for a few months now, and I think I generally like it. Pacman and the AUR seem pretty useful, and I like the customization I can get in KDE. However, I'm having some frustrations with the rolling release schedule (and I think it's Arch not CachyOS but correct me if I'm wrong)

I've switched from Windows and I really like how much I can customize my desktop environment, and I like how easy CachyOS was to spin up despite all the fearmongering about Arch. I know Cachy is per-configured Arch so I skipped a lot of the Arch pain, that's fine with me as a newcomer.

My frustration point is that my desktop customization skins and settings I have setup seem to break about 50% of the time when I run a system update, and it is kind of annoying to fix it every time. I just have a simple skin on, and something that has stopped me from going deeper down the customization rabbit hole has been this fairly consistent breakage that happens when I run an update. There are updates to run seemingly every day, sometimes multiple times a day, and I don't love it.

Coming here then to ask a question: Should I switch to a fixed release distro? Maybe some version of Debian or Fedora like Zorin or Bazzite? I think I like Arch, but open to trying other things. Or is there a way I can harden some of my customization settings to make them less likely to break when I run an update?

On a ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 if that matters. Thanks!

Hi r/JellyfinCommunity !

I'm inspired by u/Lepixs recent post where they showed a customized JF homescreen with some improvements through the javascript injector plugin and some other plugins.

This post in particular is what I am referring to.

I see that this user set up a carousel that shows a top 10 list. I love the tweaks this user setup and I've done some similar tweaks using a few of the suggestions they provided in the post above, including the home screen sections by media provider and other custom carousels.

Here is my current setup, just for reference:

I want to set up something similar that just shows the top 10 most recent watched movies across ALL users on my JF instance. Is that something that other users here have had success setting up? If that is something someone can point me to, that would be awesome! Thanks!
