It runs Ubuntu 16.04 server as a headless machine. Recycled my son’s old gaming pc as a plex server. Does PMS use the GPU for any kind of processing, and would that work also in Linux? (drivers & linux are always a concern)Īnd in general: What would be the recommended OS to run PMS on, and why?.I assume that the hardware is no issue at all?.Will I run into any special issues just beacause I’m running in Linux?.The reason as for why I’d like to move to Linux, is mainly to free up that computer screen (really can’t run a Windows 10 Home without a screen, well you can, but it’s going to be painful) and run PMS as a deamon thing. I looked up some forum questions on this, but the questions that I found are 1+ year old, and I’m guessing development hasn’t stopped the last year, so a fresh take on this would be nice. The media itself sits on a network share, and won’t be affected at all by the change in PMS OS. It runs PMS fine as is right now, and my question is wether installing Linux (Ubuntu) on that hardware would make it even better? It’s a stock DELL computer that I bought a couple of years ago for gaming which is now only serving Plex. I’m currently running PMS on a quad-core i5 (3.1GHz) with 8GB Ram.
