Which Flavor of Linux Are You Running (and how do you use MC)?
Jason-V:
XFCE Garuda Linux (Arch Based)
MC 32 Linux - Use it for all my Music ripped from all my CD's over the years.
- Use it for Movies ripped with MakeMkV
MC seems to randomly close here and there for me while using it, I'm running Arch based distro so might be why.

I have to say that the variations people have posted are much more varied that I thought they'd be. I was really expecting to get 5 "super user" responses (versions I've never heard of, doing things ordinary people don't do) and about 10 Mint/Ubuntu responses. This thread has been interesting so far.
In addition, I'm using this remote (see pic, I don't remember the brand but it's on Amazon) and as far as I can remember it was plug & play for the most part. Meaning, I didn't have to fiddle with it, just plug in the USB IR. The downside is that only the middle section works, which is good enough. The big gray circular button is the mouse pad with right-left buttons on either side. The up, down, right, left arrows work as well as the OK button. The "back" button also works. The stop, play, rec, etc. buttons do not. Since I use Theaterview exclusively I never really have any need to use any of the other functions or buttons (like the numbers), even on Windows. The mouse is functional, but slow and clunky for navigating but it's ok for stopping playback of a recorded show, etc.

Mint, music only for now.

I am using latest version of Manjaro Linux with Plasma desktop with latest MC since version ~22 I think. I also use Windows version since Manjaro is running several Windows versions & MacOS VM guests I have setup with KVM/QEMU.
.
I use Audio (~55,000 tracks) that about 50% lossless now - slowly replacing the mp3/m4a files. I use Photos, TV, Streaming, DLNA (network) functions. Not really movies/video. I have a generic Windows Remote/RC6 receiver that you can get on ebay that gives basic navigation/volume incl. the Green orb to start Theatre view.
Apparently there is a compatability issues b/w Plasma/X-term used in MC or something (off top of head) but the net effct is typiing in a search term hides the previous search items behind the main window (Only see the right most edge of drop down) which is a little annoying and requires double entry often of the search text.

Just did a clean install of newly released Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on my new PC, works great. Was going to check Bazzite (based on Fedora 40) out too, but honestly I might just stay as-is with Ubuntu. :D
