I am basically a layman, i do music productions and in the past VSTs seemed to never work properly nor the authentication software that some us. Has it gotten better in the past few years, is there a specific one i should try? i have tried Ubuntu but nothing else to be fair. Also if i want to make a plex server on an old PC, what would people recommend? thanks to anyone who responds!

edit - Thanks to all that responded, i have some direction now. Appreciated!

I’d recommend checking out Linux Mint with the “cinnamon” desktop.

Installing hardware drivers and software is a breeze. It comes with a software manager for easily adding new programs.
