Plex migration update: Gave up on Debian, installed Mint. Mint installed great, more options in the GUI this looks promising. It wants an update, no worries go for, reboot aaaaaand it no longer boots. You have got to be shitting me linux. Installed windows, replaced plex files and looks to have completely failed. Gave up in frustration and went to bed.
Fresh enrichment though
I am completely ok with the level of Linux skill I already have. The ammount of time and money I have poured into improving the plex experince is really starting to feel like a sunk cost fallacy.
fair enough. If you do feel like giving it another swing try unbuntu or kubuntu, there's a reason why they're so popular.
I'm arguing with Kodi because His Lordship likes the interface but I refuse to change the naming conventions on the fileserver to serve the fucking machine.
I heard Ubuntu isnt popular due to snaps integration. The whole point is a lightweight build to try improve the plex experince so probably not ideal.
Then again, makes windows even less ideal.
eh, you can remove snaps if you want, but it's a small potato on the other stuff.
I still run slackware for my LA (there's no M or P) so lol
Ha this is me but with Emby. It has a very simple interface on the Google TV without all the recommendations and extras and bells and whistles and is the one my non-techie wife likes best, so it was my job to mould the server to suit it :/
I'm running the server in a Debian VM, no GUI installed at all, very bare-bones. Wasn't TOO hard to get set up once Debian was mounting the NAS share properly and it's been set-and-forget for years now.
My fserve is an ancient beast that basically sits there holding content. I'm happy to use straight up file shares, but His Lordship hasn't a clue as to half the shows on there and wants to be coaxed lol
