    Just surprised after you wrote all that for running various difficult methods of Linux to then say you run TrueNas and Plex. I think Jellyfin on a Linux server is a better and easier option and would be familiar to you.

    Ah yeah, the family. That’s the biggest reason for Plex I guess

      Fair, like I said I’m not smart so I was only following a YouTube tutorial on how to install Arch, first time the guy was using Gnome which I didn’t like so I had to find another that showed KDE. All those experiments and even the Plex server setup were built alongside YT tutorials and an IT friend who also has a Plex server helping me with upgrades when I needed to add a SAS card for additional drives.

      I’ve honestly just been winging it here lmao

        I totally don’t believe you aren’t smart enough to :) your Linux desktop experience will carry over.

        I personally found TrueNas too difficult for anything other than serving as a NAS.

        How’re you liking KDE? I’m the opposite, I prefer gnome but want some KDE features. So mixed.
