Since it’s a desktop, I’d go with linuxmint, based on Ubuntu based on Debian. I use it for my desktop and it’s nice. Plus you have the power of Debian to run services in the background. The only gotcha is that you want to disable people shutting down or rebooting the system from the GUI. It can be done, just not sure off the top of my head. I’d actually suggest you find and old system you can stick in the closet to run as your plez server if possible. Sent from my iPhone

I'm having trouble deciding which distro to install on my new SSD.
It's the only desktop computer in the house, so it's used for web, email, etc, plus it's a Plex server.
DistroWatch.com shows Manjaro being really popular right now, but I've never heard of it. It's based on Arch, which I've heard of, but never tried. I see that Arch uses Pacman for a package manager. I'm used to APT; I'm not sure if I'd like Pacman.
So anyway, I thought I'd ask for suggestions.
