Debianâs great too because it has a slow update cycle so you donât need to worry about anything breaking. You could set Plex to autostart so you never actually see the OS, then you have free extra RAM from using a lighter system

I first used Ubuntu and found snap to be really slow so I switched. Iâve put Mint on a computer and it works great. Itâs justified in being the new linux favourite.
The UI has been designed to look a lot like Windows as well, so itâs easier for people to make the switch
