This is running an an AMD Ryzen 5 64 bit, if you need any other info let me know. I am assuming its probably a permissions issue. I am still working through understanding the permissions guide. I think I gave proper permissions to the plex user, but I am new to linux so I may have messed something up

Drop all the snap and other “fancy additions” and simply install the Plex Media Server directly on that Linux system.
You can install the public releases using a repository… this way your OS can take care of updating it for you.

The Linux tips & tricks posts can also be super helpful with some common roadbumps

Linux Tips

Tips & Tricks of the Linux trade. Below, you’ll find a collection of tips, tricks, and how-to’s to help make setting up, administrating, and using Plex Media Server on Linux a little easier. Reporting problems Using other hard drives (Windows or Linux) with PMS Customizing your Plex configuration on systemd based systems Using other EXT4, NTFS, or other drives (internal or USB) Mounting CIFS + SMB network shares for Plex use Mounting NFS network shares for Plex use Movin…

If you’re not familiar with Linux… keep it simple or you’ll get lost fast.
This can include sticking with a more common platform instead of going for a more fancy one… those tend to be much better supported and you’ll find more documentation.

PS: considering you’re using an AMD Ryzen CPU, I’ve re-tagged your thread (AMD != ARM)

Thank you. I will review all of this. When you say sticking with a common platform over a fancy one, are you referring to my choice of UbuntuDDE? I have been considering switching to kubuntu.
