Mine works on PopOS which is also Debian/Ubuntu like Mint. There are some instructions here that may help. https://www.8bitdo.com/steam/#pro2-popup

Lots of x86 machines are hitting the curb this week because they won’t run Windows 10. One of those with a Linux distro installed will do what you want. Follow the directions in Jellyfin’s documentation and you should be good. Adding your devices to a Tailscale network is the fastest way to be able to access your content outside of your home network. FireTV has a Jellyfin client and can also be added to Tailscale.
Last I checked, Roku doesn’t have a Tailscale app. So unless Tailscale is working on your router the TV can’t see the desktop’s Tailscale IP.
I have a similar setup, and Roku only works if I connect to Jellyfin with the LAN IP. If your desktop isn’t on the same LAN – wifi or ethernet – it won’t work.



Haven’t tried it since the move to COSMIC, but Pop!OS used to GPU switching in its settings GUI. It worked really well for my nontechnical family member’s laptop that had Intel and Nvidia. Was in the power management controls, IIRC.
