I am not totally sure if I understand this correct. But I have a Laptop running with Linux and has a NVIDIA GPU installed.
Currently I run with MX Linux, which is Sysv init.
Maby reach out to me via...
It should run on MX Linux when using the installer. At this point there is no need to set it up as a system service. First step is to figure out of the transcoding works. Which nvidia drivers and which ffmpeg version works. I don't have that hardware setup myself at the moment.
