Some people have gained the impression that Linux might not be fun. How did that happen? So this issue we’re putting the fun back into Lin(f)u(n)x!We’re not sure that’s actually going to catch on…
For an age now, Linux has had access to a full suite of media capabilities and software. Over the years we’ve covered most of them, from the crazy TV-tuner packing MythTV, the undeservedly
scandal-dogged Kodi, to Emby. All of them are fantastic options. For this issue we’re going to look at Plex. While no longer open source, it’s always treated Linux as a first-class citizen and delivers a super-slick media streaming experience across networks, devices and all media. You can use it for free and if you get on with it there are membership levels that unlock extra features and app access. It’s certainly a system that works for Plex.
Jonni’s been having fun sorting out an all-singing media server alongside more specific services, such as a low-power audio server running on a Raspberry Pi for podcast and music streaming.
If you’re already set for media servers then why not try out one of our other many projects this issue? We broadcast our desktops with OBS, discover the pro-level photography tools y can edit RAWphotos with, relive our ZX Spectrum days and discover which is the “best”power distro (then you can write in and tell us why we’re wrong!).We also finish off our look back at the history of the PC by chronicling the Windows years and how something called Linux crept up and pulled the rug from under Microsoft’s feet.
Hopefully that’s plenty of fun for everyone, so enjoy!
