    I was just reading about the whole snaps debate. No experience with Debian but I might give Mint a go. Sounds like its the darling child these days.

      I first used Ubuntu and found snap to be really slow so I switched. I’ve put Mint on a computer and it works great. It’s justified in being the new linux favourite.

      The UI has been designed to look a lot like Windows as well, so it’s easier for people to make the switch

        does it have a built in “take control” for folder management? if so, that could be a winner!

          I saw you’re having trouble with Debian at the moment. I don’t know what the exact problems you’re having are, the two things I can think of is making sure you’re in a root user, and you can edit individual files through terminal using nano

            thanks for the advice. I think I might need to actually log in as root which obviously debian has disabled (for good reason). then it turns out replacing the files for plex is only half the battle. permissions have gotta be right, and stuff has to reference each other properly. Thinking it might be easier to go back to windows sadly.
