I’d describe myself as a low-level Linux user, although I’ve been using it more and more over the past 10 years or so (two applications exclusive to W10 which I use for my work prevent me switching away from W10, which I’d love to do).
So I know something modest about permissions and ownership. Other service-based applications do not have the degree of neurosis which Plex appears to manifest, e.g. Elasticsearch.
All that time I have been using Mint. Before I started to do so I looked into what the experts said about things like stability. Very few agree with your view.
But you seem to be the resident expert on Plex itself: perhaps you’re talking specifically about marrying Mint and Plex?
More to the point, I am assuming you are a big expert, so do you have anything to suggest to answer my difficulty, rather than just saying I’m using a rubbish OS and know nothing about Linux? Surprisingly, I posted this post because I was hoping for helpful answers.
My own suspicion is that it is the fact that this is a dual boot machine which may be the main cause of this present problem: but exactly WHY booting to W10 and booting back to Linux should cause PMS to fail apparently so obdurately, when it’s installed on the main Linux boot partition: that’s the question.
