Sure would be simpler on us if they named the plex installers completely. Media Server has that in its name, but the Desktop version just says Plex… Seems like a simple enough thing to standardize to make life a bit simpler for us neophytes. So when I go to install it on a new PC, I am not always wondering if I’ve got the correct installer…
