  • Ah yeah, i know what you mean. That can be overwhelming. There are a loooooot of choices, and the differences might be things I’ve never even heard of before.

    I think a lot of these articles are written with the expectation that you will try several different versions after you learn to flash/boot. I think i ended up with 4 different forks i could boot from.

    When I started, i went with Ubuntu first just because it seemed pretty stable and had support from a large company, but once I leanred how to boot Ubuntu it was easy to do the same steps for the other versions to try them out.


  • I run Plex on a Raspberry Pi 3, it can support two simultaneous 1080p Streams on my local Wifi. Cant support 2k or 4k videos at all. And cant support video outside of the local network.

    “use your favorite Unix then install Plex” or “Here are 56 perfect versions of Unix to install for your Plex server”

    What part of this do you think is hard?

    Each step can be scary at first but its not hard if you break it into pieces.

    Booting Ubuntu or some linux OS is a fun first step if you actually have a spare computer handy









  • It’s going to be hard to explain to a new person.

    Typescript is a subset of Javascript. All typescript compiles to Javascript.

    There are large class of bugs/faulty logic that occurs in code, you might have noticed this with Javascript if you add the string/text to an integer, something like “5”+1, returns “51”.

    It might not behave how you would expect. Maybe the dev was lazy or tired and forgot to convert the string to an integer.

    Typescript runs some logic checking on the code to make sure we catch these bugs before they make it to a website and cause real problems for users.

    Generally learning either of them is fine, typescript might be harder at first since you need to compile it to Javascript. And there probably are more resources for Javascript as well.
