I’m having some issues with my Plex’s stability and was curious what the community thinks about their chosen OS and Plex.
(If there’s a better site than SurveyMonkey for polls, let me know and I’ll re-do it)
Edit: turns out SurveyMonkey can only show me the first 10 responses. I’ll re-do this survey soon!
The results for those 10 was 3 Windows, 3 Linux, 2 MacOS, 1 NAS, 1 Proxmox. All stable except my answer.
But feel free to comment below what OS you run on, and whether you find it stable! Thanks!
I’m lazy and run it on an old Dell box running Windows 10.
Do you have any issues with it crashing?
Usually only after an unusual shutdown and reboot like a power outage. But for the most part it’s pretty solid. It’s definitely on an improvement on my previous attempts to do it on an iMac from 2012 that had s shit 5400 failing 2.5" HD in it. Current device is a Dell OptiPlex 2020 with 8GB RAM and 250GB SSD with 2TB external drive for media (I have a 4TB waiting in the wings to replace it). Overall, it’s fast and stable. I would say there were definite improvements when I went to a lifetime Pro account with Plex. Given that these are parts that I pay nothing for via discard and device retirement in my workplace, I’m pretty happy with the outcome.
I was amazed as a I scrolled that I was going to be the only one that said windows. Glad there are at least 2 of us.
