I’m not sure if it counts for patient gaming but it’s super lightweight and so damn fun.
I have a FLIRC remote with the receiver and use it for both my TV and HTPC.
It’s awesome once set up, but the app is honestly dogshit. They put in all these smooth menu transitions and whatnot, making it painfully difficult to configure the remote.
I’m almost to 10.00
Oh boy…
What kind of WaCkY cRaZy stuff are we gonna see now?
As others have said, a t Thinkpad. I bought a Thinkpad E14 Gen 2 for $150 and it’s just awesome. I use it for school right now.
This is a great reference:

Serverpartdeals is a good source for cheaper drives.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I put it on a larger HDD because my SSD was running out of space and it corrupted about a week later.
When you say database, do you mean the OS and the server install?
Yes, that’s what I meant. I switched my server install to a HDD because it was running on a 256 GB SSD which was running out of room.
I’m sure docker is easier if you know it… that’s like the point, afaik, but while basic use might be easy, it’s… never ever that easy for me, something always goes wrong, which is why I haven’t bothered yet. I know I should, I know it’ll make things easier (hypothetically), but it feels like a huge undertaking for someone with no skills. I’ve been looking for a super noob friendly instruction guide, and have not found one that I can work with, tbh, without a bunch of other know-how that I don’t have. (If you know of any I’d be eternally grateful!!!)
I can give you some tips for now and then I’ll give you some more in-depth instructions when I’m at my computer again.
For now:
Install Docker to your computer. I’m not sure how windows Docker handles it but I recommend using Docker compose. I’m not sure of the technical differences between Docker and Docker compose, but I found Docker compose to be much easier to use because it’s saved as a YAML file (text file). If you need to make changes, just edit the file.
Once you have that set up, get a Plex server running. You’ll probably have to change the ports in the Docker one to avoid conflict with your current one.
I recommend LinuxServer.io for a lot of things, including Plex. There’s some dissent over use of Linux Server’s apps due to permission and root things, but they are also super simple to use and you can start with the basics here.
https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-plex/
Scroll down a bit to find the docker-compose section. To start a sample plex server, make the following changes:
Remove network_mode: host
In line with environment and volumes, add this:
ports - 324001:32400
This will route 32400 of the docker container to 32401 of the host network, allowing you to have both servers running at the same time without a port conflict.
Edit the volumes as needed. Always remember, it goes: host: container for everything. You can change it however you need. /config should preferably be on an SSD, as I said. The rest can be created as needed. For mine, I have both movies and TV shows stored under a folder called /media/. My plex docker script mounts /media/ and in plex I can search through the subdirectories to find the TV and Movies section.
Your second (temporary) plex server should be set up properly once you start the container
I’ll tell you how to data over to the Docker container later.
It is possible to pass transcoding - I’ll share my compose file when I’m at my computer
I would recommend using Docker first on the windows machine as a step in the transition. I did exactly this when I was transitioning to debian from windows. It made the official switch insanely easy because all I had to do was set up the Docker filesystem to what it already knew and it started up without any issues.
My lessons learned:
Keep the database on an SSD. I put mine on a HDD and it corrupted.
good stable distro
Debian
long-term stable choice
Debian
this specific machine is not meant for change. Ever.
Debian
Bonus round: anyone who’s ever transferred Plex servers from win to Linux (insert flavor), is it actually possible to keep my collections and playlists and stuff?
Yes, it’s relatively simple, especially with Docker. Back up the Plex folder from your windows machine. Once your new OS is set up, put the folder where you wanna store it and point Docker to that folder in the compose.yaml.
I second immich
I third Immich
It also sounds like it could have been a leather shoe or a stomach sound.
EDIT: Nvm I just listened with headphones. That sounded like a wet fart.
Debian 12
It’s just so good
The simplest way, if you want high quality:
Get a VPN (preferably one with port forwarding, like AirVPN)
Get qBittorrent and set the listening port to that forwarded port from your VPN host
Use the built-in search in qBit to find the stuff you want to watch
Open it in VLC
I got a little server from them a few weeks ago for $17/yr ($1.42/mo) and it’s great. 1 core, 2 GB RAM, 35 GB storage.
I used rclone to mount a Backblaze bucket and transferred a couple services to it, including Immich.
Isn’t clitoris that big red dog?
I think any issues would show in “other”
