macOS is "certified UNIX," whatever that means. And I think Linux is a spinoff/knockoff of UNIX? I'm not clear on the history. I could find out if I were too concerned. But with as closely related as they are (Windows is the odd one out here, pretty much everything else out there is *nix), there's a lot of stuff one does that the other doesn't. Like Proton on Linux for running Windows games.
But yeah, the Jellyfin server works fine on macOS, but the apps are kinda hard to get working. Like it doesn't auto detect your server and it's not immediately clear what you need to put in to connect them. And the server app doesn't just volunteer this information freely. So it's not the kind of thing you can help people set up and share with them. Plex... is. Like seriously, I can say "just register for Plex and give me your account name or email." I add you to my shared users. Bam, you got all my content. It's that easy, and moving forward, anything put up as an alternative to Plex should be at least that easy.
