Ladybird browser to start using Swift language this fall
All non-GUI .NET applications, unless they use niche things like windows registery or management API, are by definition platform agnostic and run wherever .NET runs (macOS, Linux, FreeBSD(with caveats), Android, iOS, Windows). Most business today which have moved off old version run sever workloads on Linux hosts within K8S or otherwise.
Popular applications that run on Linux are
Jellyfin: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin
Sonarr (and other High Seas apps): https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr
Ryujinx: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx (the kind of project that can easily match writing a browser in complexity)
Bitwarden (server): https://github.com/bitwarden
Stride3D: https://github.com/stride3d/stride
Godot (offers C# as script language, using regular .NET)
From the top of my head, I'm sure there are many others less popular. It is sad that this conversation needs to be had 8 years after the first version of .NET (Core as it was named at the time).

How I built my own SeedBox with K8S
Indeed, it would be really cool to set up a Jellyfin server now and connect it to the network volume to enjoy the content from the couch ;)

Ask HN: Which "open-source alternatives" have succeeded?
With how anti-consumer the recent Plex moves have been, Jellyfin [1] has gotten really popular among self-hosting community. It is arguably the best alternative to Plex in terms of features and the amount of freedom given to the user.

Netflix: Piracy Is Difficult to Compete Against and Growing Rapidly
At least for the last point i can recommend jellyfin. It has a web interface, a android tv app and an iphone app. I use it on my phone, tv and in the browser.

Program for sorting DOWNLOADED movies/games?
I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :)

Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?
I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet.

Just checking: Plex is still the best option right?
You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
Emby: Offers premium features with some behind a membership.

media server, bring old days and share with friends
I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :)

Jellyfin (open source Plex) moves from Reddit to its own traditional-style MyBB forum
For clarity: Emby is still mostly open source (the source code is right here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby). Emby started incorporating closed source plugins that you only get with the paid version of Emby in order to try and get revenue.
