Asked By TechSavvyNinja92 On

I'm looking to repurpose an old computer as a Plex server, but I'm concerned about using outdated systems like Windows XP due to security risks when connecting to the internet. Is it possible to run a Linux operating system on older hardware and still have a secure connection?

Jellyfin is the way to go! It's so good that you might consider ditching Plex altogether. Just make sure you get the setup right, and you'll be all set.

For sure, I have an old laptop with just a 2GB HDD running Linux Mint XFCE as a Plex server, and it works great! Just keep your files in a spot that's accessible for all users, and remember to set the permissions correctly!
