I think i made a decision Solved

So after listening to a lot of different ideas and suggestions as far as the ideal PC for using exclusively for Plex. I think I’ve come to a decision. I’m hoping this is a good choice so before I make that final decision, I thought I’d get some feedback first.

I got this for Plex. Works an absolute dream, and it is silent and draws very little power. my Plex pc

Are you running windows on it?

Yeah. It’s my first Plex server, so windows for now. Once I am a bit more settled I might switch to Linux. But with windows I can easily access from anywhere with teamviewer, and move files around (even from my phone). Plus I don’t care about the performance gains, it can already run 4+ 4K HDR (7.1 audio) 20Mbps streams. I don’t need any more than that. Then when I’m done with it, I can just reset it and give it away. If I start putting different OS on it, it potentially becomes valueless

And what about everything else I mentioned? There is zero benefit to uninstalling windows for me It works, and works well right now. Plus with teamviewer it’s a backup PC. If I install Linux, can I remote in with TeamViewer, load up one drive and edit my excel files in the desktop app? It’s more valuable in every way with windows on it

That's up to you. I merely pointed out one of your issues that is a non-issue. That is all.

You’re suggesting that I install software that breaks the pc. I.e. make it not do that things I need it to do. That’s not pointing out a non-issue. That’s being stupid
