I updated my Dietpi setup today, because a new version was available. It went very well, and everything works perfectly after a reboot.

Yeah. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and it has been a really good experience. There are some bugs, of course, but hopefully those can be worked on.

As a general rule of thumb, I usually recommend Linux Mint to beginners. The installation and update processes are easy and intuitive, and there is a ton of software available, as well as good support if you know how to do web searches properly. The main trick is to try and remember that a paradigm shift needs to happen here. Linux is not Windows. It doesn’t work like Windows, and it has different aims and priorities. She will also need to be prepared to learn a bit and be slightly more hands-on with her computing. The learning curve with Mint is comparatively gentle, but it does exist.

This is all very broad and general, but I hope it helps. Good luck to the both of you. I hope you are satisfied with whatever you decide on.

Tailscale creates a new virtual network, and anything you want to connect to the Jellyfin server needs to be in that Tailscale network. You need to hook up the Roku device to Tailscale. I have never owned one, so I can’t say anything about that. But maybe that’s what you should figure out next.

This reads like the author is processing a breakup.

Yup, I did. I had heard that it’s enjoying some reappraisal, so the thumbnail caught my eye. The guy made some decent arguments, so I decided to give it a whirl. I was not disappointed.

I did, yeah. I had heard before that the movie is enjoying some reappraisal, and Willems made some good points. So I gave it a go. And boy howdy, was I not disappointed.
