I fucking did it.
Stepping away was a good idea. I was sitting there after my 2nd daily meditation walking thru my mind all of the steps I made. I realized that because the 2nd hard drive was so messed up that when I installed Mint that it might have not recognized it correctly.
So I reinstalled Mint.
And then I realized as it was going through the set up, that when I set up Jellyfin I did it from command prompt instead of Flatpack like I had with my newer laptop.
