From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Last time I tried it it was a much worse experience than Emby across all devices and for all media types. I don't understand all the love it gets.
Worse how? Jellyfin was forked from Emby, and since then has continued to improve in my eyes.
It was forked but somehow lacked a huge amount of functionality that Emby had (and still has) Like I think it only supported films, not music or TV shows. The app infrastructure was awful across fire stick, Roku and android and wasn't backward compatible with the Emby apps. I just didn't see the point of forking it if you're just going to make it worse or only address the server side and neglect the clients. The whole thing has to work together with good clients and server.
Jellyfin has supported Music and TV shows since the start
Looks like you need a closer view about actual functionality. Jellyfin supports movies, tv-shows, music (there are also apps just for music), e-books and live-tv.
I kinda wonder how I've been watching shows for years, then....
Yeah jellyfin still has a number of issues that should be worked on, but it's nowhere near as bad as you claim
