Although I feel like Ubuntu server would be a lot more difficult to figure out what I'm doing that just straight Ubuntu and then I have to try and teach my gf what's going on. I always thought Ubuntu would be a lot tougher to use in comparison but Plex server I don't think is officially supported with Mint like Ubuntu. I tried it out like 10 years ago with a livecd or whatever they called them and it was pretty decent. If I was to run Linux I would probably go for Mint. The only exception is still AAA gaming and even THAT works great on something like unraid with a GPU passthrough. Literally anything you can do can be done far better on a linux box. There is nothing simple about windows in the long run. Hardware becomes a tool to accomplish your goals instead of a roadblock due to your lack of understanding. At that point the sky's the limit on what you want to do. ![]() Your preferred flavor of OS starts to become meaningless as long as you have a decent terminal access of some type. A little time spent gaining some knowledge here pays HUGE dividends out in the real world. Not sure what you do for a living but the basic *nix command line interface is used all over the place. Hell I've yet to find ANYTHING else that overall works better as both a docker and VM host. ![]() PLEX in my own house runs as a docker container on unraid. It's linux under the hood (a huge plus in my eyes because that 1982 interface is FAR superior to any GUI) but with a very newb friendly UI. It's capabilities FAR outclass the vast majority of alternatives. If you're willing to venture the slightest bit outside of your comfort zone and learn a little then take a look at unraid. The problem is you'll eventually want more. You are paying for someone else to decide how it's done for you. The 220+ is affordable, memory expandable, has plenty of horsepower and can do a billion other things beyond PLEX.
