    As experience shows there is not a big differences in performance regarding OSs. So in this case recommendations would be to choose OS you like most in general. For me it's Ubuntu.

  • vfusevfuse Member, Host Rep

    Always ran plex on Ubuntu since it's on plex supported list, it runs fine on Debian as well tho.

    I doubt there's much difference in performance for the linux OS's.

    I don't think there is that much of difference, too.
    Used it on Ubuntu 14.04 (32bit & 64bit) and Debian 6.

    Ubuntu, from experience seems to be best supported less buggy with Plex. Not sure if its the main Linux OS they use/test there side.

  • cassacassa Member
