I’m building a new system for home as my existing machine is having some hardware issues.
The machine is a bit of a Swiss Army knife - it’s our Plex server with 10TB of storage, runs a few desktop apps and it would be nice to move Pihole from the existing Raspberry Pi.
Historically I’ve just run windows 10 but I’m wondering whether running Linux and VMs would give a bit more resiliency and versatility. I’ve never played with Linux so I’m interested in different options.
The new machine is a Ryzen 5 2600 with 16gb of RAM initially so should have the horsepower to run a few VMs.
