  • It’s true for any variation of Linux. Hell, the vulnerability (Mimikatz) that was crucial in the most expensive cyber security attack in history is still there in Windows.

    And for X11 to be exploited you would need to get and run malicious code in the first place. The Linux security model kicks in before you get to that point.








  • Streaming requires high-performance, high-bandwidth machines that cost anywhere from several dozen dollars to several hundred dollars a month. You build a resilient high-availability network, and you could easily be looking at several tens of thousands of dollars a month.

    Are you under the impression that Plex uploads the movie files to their servers and then transcodes them there, or something?

    And the hard work happens on your own hardware. All Plex’s servers are doing is acting as a signaling server, but no media or routed through Plex’s servers.

    As much as I dislike Windows, it’s incredibly uncommon for it to blue screen unless there’s some kind of hardware fault. And if it’s happening in Linux too, you’ve got bad/dying hardware.

    In Linux, if your system is hanging for a bit then coming back, then it’s probably a drying hard drive.

    One thing you can check with is Burn In Test on Windows. It will stress all the individual components and tell you what’s failing.
