From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did. you not read what I wrote? I used it as a media center and it was swapping like hell. That's what Emby and Jellyfin are. Media servers.
No, you use it as a media server. A media center can also be a media server but often is not.
If your pi is just reading files from the network, it's fine. If it's serving files, you're gonna have a bad time.
Use the right tool for the job.
