I’m running FreeBSD I actually like it a lot.

I picked it for zfs. A lot of the ways things work seem cleaner and simpler than on Linux and zfs is awesome with the copy on write snapshots and filesystem compression and all that. I like rc.conf and pf is way nicer than iptables and even when you upgrade it automatically makes a snapshot so you can rollback.

Sometimes I do need to patch and compile things because people seem to not know freebsd exists but that’s really the only downside.

Plex supports extras just rip them to separate files. It’s true you lose the menu though.

It’s just that the compression on the disks is not very good and you can easily compress them a lot more without really any noticeable loss of quality.

Why not just convert them and save 20gb of storage space?
