My distro is Debian, but I installed it using the Linux (generic amd64) method as posted on https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux. I picked this method because I liked the installation instructions. All the files would be in a folder that I specified, I'm accustomed to using systemd to manage services, and the only manually installed dependency is FFmpeg.
I use docker for some other things, but since docker does take some effort to learn (it's easy but it still slows me down), I ended up sticking with my manual Linux (generic amd64) installation. Upgrading versions is as simple as extracing the latest file to a folder, updating a symbolic link, and restarting the service. I may choose docker in the future, but haven't had any problems for the 3-4 years that I've been doing it this way.
