At my school, we recently got what was going to be a decommissioned PC, and I wanted to maybe turn it into a media server that I could stream videos/movies from, Are there any good programs or operating systems that I could use? The computer is running Windows 10, and I don’t care about installing a new OS, as long as it’s manageable.
Sorry in advance if this is the wrong subreddit.
Personally if its media only, would install an Ubuntu server with Docker and run Plex container and other softwares in containers to support it. Plenty of guides on the net on how to set this up and it’s a very robust system.
I’ve been using Plex for decades and there is nothing better in my opinion.
