fair enough. If you do feel like giving it another swing try unbuntu or kubuntu, there's a reason why they're so popular.

I'm arguing with Kodi because His Lordship likes the interface but I refuse to change the naming conventions on the fileserver to serve the fucking machine.

Ha this is me but with Emby. It has a very simple interface on the Google TV without all the recommendations and extras and bells and whistles and is the one my non-techie wife likes best, so it was my job to mould the server to suit it :/

I'm running the server in a Debian VM, no GUI installed at all, very bare-bones. Wasn't TOO hard to get set up once Debian was mounting the NAS share properly and it's been set-and-forget for years now.

My fserve is an ancient beast that basically sits there holding content. I'm happy to use straight up file shares, but His Lordship hasn't a clue as to half the shows on there and wants to be coaxed lol

I heard Ubuntu isnt popular due to snaps integration. The whole point is a lightweight build to try improve the plex experince so probably not ideal.

Then again, makes windows even less ideal.

eh, you can remove snaps if you want, but it's a small potato on the other stuff.

I still run slackware for my LA (there's no M or P) so lol
