Can explain how the fuck to use Jellyfin. I can't get it to cast, unable to get it on the Roku app. All around it just doesn't work.

How are you running it and on what hardware?

And old laptop with Linux Mint.

Did you install it from the repos, build from source, or run in docker?

Either docker or the repos is recommended

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux#debian--ubuntu-and-derivatives

Once you've confirmed what method, can you access it on the laptop you're running it on by going to https://127.0.0.1:8096/ ?

Once you confirm local access, we can take a look at your firewall rules to ensure port 8096 on that laptop is reachable by other devices on your network.
