Plex finally has a client for Linux too

Fans of HTPC and tools for the use of multimedia content present in their home network (and not only) will surely know Plex, a software that can count on more than ten years of development and of which the homonymous application is available for many operating systems, both mobile and desktop and TV. One of the strengths of Plex is its flexibility, which allows users to see their personal library of multimedia content both at home and outside, thanks to the transcoding capability "on the fly" (as long as the home server has sufficient computing capacity).

Linux system users will be pleased to know that now the Plex desktop application (the one, in practice, that deals with the reproduction of contents) is officially available for Open source OS par excellence. The software is distributed as a Snap package, which means that you need to have a configuration that supports SNAP and its framework. Ubuntu already offers this option by default, but you can also use it on Arch, Fedora, Pop! _OS, KDE Neon, openSUSE, Debian and other distros. From an operational and aesthetic point of view, the application is essentially the same as already available for some time (more precisely from 2019) for Windows and macOS.

Although Linux is an operating system that is considered quite safe, especially compared to Windows, some potentially very dangerous malware also affects the penguin's OS. Last week, for example, we told you about XorDDos, an explosive growth malware. Find all the details in our previous dedicated article.
