TightVNC or if anyone else can recommend another free VNC I'll check those out (it would be for out home network). Can I just install it to a usb drive and play around with the OS without having to format any of my drives? Does it ever go on sale, you never know. Unraid looks promising I might mess around with this. 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. Click to expand.If you want stupid simplicity then buy any modern intel Synology NAS with a quick sync iGPU and a plexpass.
