More > JRiver Media Center 22 for Linux
Starting from square #1; which Linux distro?
pepar:
I have a NUC arriving soon to use as the streaming device attached to my home theater, and I want to use Linux. I read the threads in the Linux sections and need advice on which distro to use. I do know some are "free" and maybe they all are? Anyway, I will donate to whichever distro I use if it is free.
As for which flavor I use, should I just go with Debian Jessie 64-bit as that's the one on which MC for Linux is developed? This box will be dedicated to JRiver.

Awesome Donkey:
Ubuntu or Linux Mint are my recommendations. If you're more used to a Windows-like experience, then Linux Mint. If you go this route, check out the pinned tutorials in this forum section!

Thanks. I don't expect to ever see the Linux desktop. The box will be a dedicated JRiver media streamer.

Then go for plain vanilla, debian (the officially supported distro).
You could also consider running an Id usb kit.

JRiver boots from a USB stick? I was reading a bit about that. I need to digest the unRAID/JRiver issue before I can move on.
