I’m literally running Plex on a Synology DS220+ NAS with all the usual addons in docker containers. I only use it locally and have had zero issues (Besides it getting laggy when downloading from Usenet at nearly 1gbps but I’ll give that a pass)

Plex install on Linux is very easy from memory.

any special deployment of Ubuntu required as far as drivers go? I know you can just chuck it on from a live USB but I’ve never actually optimized anything. Frankly, it runs like crap on Windows.

Depends on your hardware. I recently installed Ubuntu 22.04 onto an old Dell laptop with zero issues. If you’re using new hardware you’re more likely to have issues.

Nah its a Optiplex 7070, nothing fancy so hopefully plays out the same as yours. thanks heaps!

I think 7070s are relatively old, so you should be fine? I’ve never installed Linux onto an optiplex though.
