Best way to host plex server program?

Thanks Otto for your fast answer , in the thread you linked you seem to prefer Linux

@OttoKerner

If you are exactly equally comfortable with both Win and Linux, then go with Linux.
Windows has the downside that you cannot run Plex as a service/daemon and use hardware transcoding (sounds strange, but is true).
If your server should run as an appliance, mostly head-less, then Linux wins.

What is the most common machine this system is intalled. I have never installed Linux before…

I will look also the cpubenchmark site
