Has anyone heard of "Plex" before this was posted here?
I haven't.
Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, etc. are somewhat popular pieces of software among those people who have home media streaming libraries. People like me who like to purchase DVDs / BluRays of movies and TV shows, rip them to disk, and then never touch the original media again.
They all descended from the original XBox Media Player, if you remember that from way back.
Just a matter of time before Jellyfin does the same as Plex and there's a whole different server setup to move to. Seems to happen again and again.
In my experience, I haven't had to touch my library when moving from one of these apps to another... so shifting to a different app hasn't been particularly difficult or time-consuming.
It does seem to have died down in recent times as most people now know the pros and cons of a Tesla, so the FUD is less effective and hurts their credibility.

TFS appears to be attempting to conflate the phone-buying habits of individual consumers with business hardware replacement cycles and productivity. It appears to be complete garbage.
I am left to assume this was shadow written by someone in the marketing department from some large tech company - e.g. Dell, Samsung, Apple, Google, Microsoft.

I'm betting you used to get really worked up in those "hacker vs. cracker" arguments too.

I never would have expected THAT. No sirree Bob.
Could you end up with trying to install a not-so-great distro on a machine that has some unusual hardware? And have to take a dive into stuff? Sure. But that is the exception, not the rule, at least not in 2025.
And, to be fair, I've had friends and co-workers run into that sort of thing on Windows. Quite a lot.
Somewhere out there a guy is getting a tattoo with the name of a girl he met in the last five hours while coked out if his mind.
Yeah - a smart guy waits at least seven hours...
