1. Where do you find what shows/films to watch?

I don’t discover it any certain way but once I know what I’m looking for I just search in qbittorrent. For anime I have RSS feeds set up.

2. Do you stream for convenience or download for superior quality?

I download.

3. Where do you store media?

Internal storage, currently some SSDs.

4. What software are you using to watch it?

mpv + fsr/Anime4K shaders.

5. How do you keep track of your watchlist, which episode you already watched or where you left off in a movie?

I use trackma/taiga with MAL for anime, for regular shows/movies I don’t use anything.

Duck typing moment

You’re not wrong, but it bugs me when my ratio drops, so I always seed everything I download. I have a pretty good internet service though.

My stats:

Interesting! I used arch for about 2 years on my gaming rig and it worked fine but I was worried if he went with something based on Arch that he would eventually run into issues due to not properly maintaining it (avoiding partial upgrades for example). But I’m probably overthinking it. If he sticks to a GUI for installing and updating packages and avoid messing with the terminal initially it should be fine.

I will add EndeavourOS to a small list of recommendations (rolling vs point release) so he can decide for himself.

What distro did you go with? My friend is showing intrest in trying Linux but I’m not sure what to recommend him. I use more advanced distros myself but I want it to work well for him OOtB while also not requiring any tinkering. I’m think of either some ubuntu-flavour or fork, like Kubuntu or maybe Mint.

Depends on the devs but I reckon they won’t use the API.

I don’t think it’s available on android. But if it is, then I would expect it to be it’s own separate app that can coexist with the regular firefox. That’s how it is on PC.

There default settings are highly unsecure.

There is a Firefox fork called librewolf which addresses that.
