Based on the conversation above, I'll be installing Umbrel on a refurbished Think Centre that I picked up for $100 less than the Umbrel Home with similar specs for the CPU and RAM. I have a 5TB HDD that I'll be bringing over to the new machine, too.

Don't install umbrel. Just install all your apps from the source

Ubuntu is fine

Honestly windows is okay for Plex. Containers are a little trickier on windows because of wsl.

I'd rather go with Ubuntu or Mint. Running mint on my main PC, so I am getting pretty familiar with it already.

However, what I have appreciated about Umbrel is the web interface that I can easily access from my PC without having to go plug a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Is that available with other Linux distros? You'd think it might be, since Umbrel is just Linux under the hood.
