Hello, I yet again come, hat in hand, for assistance from those wiser in the ways of the Linux. I’m having a bit of an issue downloading Jellyfin on my ElementaryOS laptop. I’ve tried all the guide on the first few pages of ddg only to receive errors after entering the comman “ sudo apt-get update “. I get ERR:3 https//repo.jellyfin.org/debian circle Release 404 Not found.

If someone can point me the way I’d be most appreciative

      Because, contrary to what it might seem like, we ALL start out this way using Linux. Everyone makes the same mistakes, so its easy to retrace the logic once you understand what the commands you used to copy-paste are doing. OP you’re clearly just making the switch and want to dive head-first into self-hosting as well as Linux, which will be a ton of fun, just try not to get discouraged as there is a lot to learn. Take it one step at a time, and try to understand the commands as there’s really not that many, and you re-use these in many scenarios.

      I see many people recommending Docker, which is great, but imho a little too early to dive in to if you haven’t experimented with Linux at all. Docker is just a container of Linux inside of Linux, so you’ll still need to use the command line, and it has its own set of tools. Just my two cents. Somebody else posted but this was the video that also made Linux ‘click’ for me:

      Don’t be afraid to break things and start over. Have fun :)
