From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Don't get too crazy into categorizing your media. Keep it simple with your folders, so Jellyfin can know what the file is then scrape the internet for meta-data.
Media -> Movies -> Example Movie (year) -> Example.movie.file
Media -> Shows -> Example Show (year) -> Season 1 -> Example.show.S01E01.file
Ideally your media downloads will have the name and release year in the folder name already. It knows to ignore or match things like x264, DD.5.1, and release group name.
this.
jellyfin has a pretty strict format structure if you want everything to auto discover.
