11 is my breaking point.

I use Blue Iris for a network of cameras watching the ranch.

If Blue Iris would run on Linux, I’d switch right now.

When they try to force 12 on me, I’ll move my cameras to an NVR and switch all my computers over to Linux.

I’ve never personally used Blue Iris, however I do use Frigate NVR. Depending on what features you need it may fit your needs as well.

Security Spy running on a cheap Mac Mini is a pretty good Blue Iris replacement.

Nothing on a PC or Mac comes close to Ubiquiti’s Unifi Protect, but that would mean a complete overhaul of your network and replacement of all your cameras.
