Had a movie stop playing the other week (I use my PC as a Jellyfin server and watch on a Nvidia Shield in another room). I thought something had crashed, but when I went upstairs to check, it had realised nobody was watching it and fucking rebooted.
you should probably use a different operating system if you use it as a server
If it was only used as a server, then I would. But it isn't, so I don't.
I use a Manjaro box to game on. And video edit with davinci resolve. And so everything else that I do. Truenas for my NAS.
It's really not a good idea to have a home server you don't update, assuming it's accessible outside your network.
Windows updates suck, but they can be delayed to only take place every 6-8 weeks.
that wasn't what I was saying
They are probably using their main desktop as their jellyfin server.
Or use Windows server. It would never do shit like that.
Alternatively you could just not postpone updates for weeks.
Just update your computers and this will never happen.
