  • It has been a few years since I last used Plex but I always liked their interface, their tech stack is fairly modern, they have apps for pretty much every device, their title matching for content works really well and there was not much wrong with it back in the day other than it lacking local authentication.

    I switched over long ago when they started pushing streaming services to my users that I couldn’t deactivate server side.

    Anyway, what I wanted to know is why do people self host?

    For the warm and fuzzy feeling I get when I know all my documents, notes, calendars, contacts, passwords, movies/shows/music, videos, pictures and much more are stored safely in my basement and belong to me.

    Nobody is training their AI on it, nobody is trying to use them for targetted ads, nobody is selling them. Just for me.

    Do you think Aurora is a good choice for beginners? A friend of mine wants to switch and I’m still looking for a good match.

    It should be immutable, use KDE, have Nvidia drivers pre-installed (or a easy UI for installing them), not be maintained by a single maintainer and should not have non-OS applications like Steam pre-installed.

    Aurora so far seems to be the best choice.
