  • linux-image-oem-24.04b contains newer firmware. It’s quite possible that firmware for your wireless adapter was not included in the latest Linux Mint version.

    The 4070 Super is more than new enough that it should work just fine with the official Nvidia driver.

    If you are willing to give this another go, it might be worth booting a distro with newer packages and pre-installed Nvidia drivers just to test. You should keep your current Windows installation in case things don’t work out.

    Here are two distros that are fairly recent and come with Nvidia drivers pre-installed:

    • Nobara (make sure to use the Nvidia version)
    • Bazzite (choose Desktop / Nvidia / KDE / No in the dropdowns)

    Everything should work out of the box with one of these without having to install anything extra or dropping to command line.

    Hope that helps!





  • IPv6 is pretty much identical to IPv4 in terms of functionality.

    The biggest difference is that there is no more need for NAT with IPv6 because of the sheer amount of IPv6 addresses available. Every device in an IPv6 network gets their own public IP.

    For example: I get 1 public IPv4 address from my ISP but 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 IPv6 addresses. That’s a number I can’t even pronounce and it’s just for me.

    There are a few advantages that this brings:

    • Any client in the network can get a fresh IP every day to reduce tracking
    • It is pretty much impossible to run a full network scan on this amount of IP addresses
    • Every device can expose their own service on their own IP (For example: You can run multiple web servers on the same port without a reverse proxy or multiple people can host their own game server on the same port)

    There are some more smaller changes that improve performance compared to IPv4, but it’s minimal.




  • so why not just use a jellyfin client?

    Depending on what you are playing and what setup you have, the Android players are just not good enough.

    With the default web player, you lack audio passthrough and have to transcode most subtitles, with ExoPlayer you lack many codecs in passthrough, when using an external player like VLC you lack proper progress tracking.

    Kodi/CoreELEC does it all: plays most video codecs, passes through every audio codec in existence, automatically switches resolutions and refresh rate, has no issues with high bitrate 4k, switches HDR on the fly and syncs watch progress to Jellyfin.

    The Kodi sync plugin is essential though.
