It’s probably been 15 years since I’ve used Linux and Mint seems to be the recommended distro for people who aren’t all that familiar with Linux like me, but I didn’t know if there was anything I should know with this ThinkPad model that anyone is familiar with. My searching around shows people saying everything from it was painless to install to they had tons of issues and I have no idea how common either one is.
So any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
I have a question and I don’t know if this is the right place to ask.
I have a windows pc where I download movies and other media which I watch from my mobile using network.
I am thinking of buying a refurb laptop to use when I am not using it for CAD/CAE works. My question is this : If I were to install a linux distro, can I view the media on my laptop as well? Like how I watch on my mobile?@
Yeah. Plex will do exactly what it sounds like you are wanting to do.
I know plex and I have used it for an year. But I access files on my computer using my mobile without any app. Is that possible with linux?
Yes you can access Windows shares directly and play the media from there with no issues. I do it all the time.
