Intel i3 3220 and gt710 what all can i do with it.
thanks for showing interest. i am new to homelab and just wanted to know what all i can do with my hardware. i have intel core i3 3220 nvidia gt710 (yep i saved one for the many generations to know what existed before rtx) and 2 4GB DDR3 1300MHz ram sticks. also i have 2 510gb HDD but i am currently using only 1 of them along with 1TB HDD that houses my media.
i am currently running plex server on it. i have setup the plex to run at highest/original quality and have not yet experienced any issues such as buffering. i wanted to setup a folder for sharing over network but i am not able to set it up as of yet.
i am using the pc for basic browsing for now, so windows 10 pro is installed currently. i have tried ubuntu but it got corrupted and would boot straight to kodi for some reason.
if you have any resource for setting up folder sharing or running docker with linux for samba please do share
