I have 2 Win10 PC's (i5 - 8 gigs memory) that are not compatible with Win 11. I was thinking of putting in some new NVME drives and switching to Mint Linux when Win10 stops being supported.
To mimic my Win10 setup - here is my list of software. Please suggest others or should I run everything in docker containers? What setup suggestions do you have and best practices?
MY INTENDED SOFTWARE:
- OS: Mint Linux (Ubuntu based)
- Indexer Utility: NZBHydra
- Downloader: Sabnzbd - for .nzb files
- Downloader videos: JDownloader2 (I will re-buy for the linux version)
- Transcoder: Handbrake
- File Renamer: TinyMediaManager
- File Viewer: UnixTree
- Newsgroup Reader: ??? - (I love Forte Agent but it's obsolete now)
- Browser: Brave & Chrome.
- Catalog Software: ??? (I mainly search Sabnzb to see if I have downloaded something previously)
- Code Editor: VS Code, perhaps Jedit (Love the macro functions)
- Ebooks: Calibre (Mainly for the command line tools)
- Password Manager: ??? Thinking of NordVPN Deluxe which has a password manager
USE CASE
Scan index sites & download .nzb files. Run a bunch through SabNzbd to a raw folder. Run scripts to clean up file name then move files to Second PC.
Second PC: Transcode bigger files with Handbrake. When a batch of files is done, run files through TinyMediaManager to try and identify & rename. After files build up - move to off-line storage with a USB dock.
Interactive: Sometimes I scan video sites and use Jdownloader2 to save favorite non-commercial videos.
