Thats great progress

Ah yeah, i know what you mean. That can be overwhelming. There are a loooooot of choices, and the differences might be things I’ve never even heard of before.

I think a lot of these articles are written with the expectation that you will try several different versions after you learn to flash/boot. I think i ended up with 4 different forks i could boot from.

When I started, i went with Ubuntu first just because it seemed pretty stable and had support from a large company, but once I leanred how to boot Ubuntu it was easy to do the same steps for the other versions to try them out.

I run Plex on a Raspberry Pi 3, it can support two simultaneous 1080p Streams on my local Wifi. Cant support 2k or 4k videos at all. And cant support video outside of the local network.

“use your favorite Unix then install Plex” or “Here are 56 perfect versions of Unix to install for your Plex server”

What part of this do you think is hard?

Each step can be scary at first but its not hard if you break it into pieces.

Booting Ubuntu or some linux OS is a fun first step if you actually have a spare computer handy

I’d probably just run gitlab and use the gitlab images, as that’s one of the solutions git recommends
