I am moving away from Windows 10 for Emby. I will be using a r5500 as my Emby machine. What are the pros and cons of BSD vs Linux for Emby? Drilling down further, what Linux distribution is best for a Emby? The r5500 will be a single purpose box. It has power to spare and memory to spare.

I also welcome any other comments and suggestions.

Just as an added vote for Linux...

 

I built a Linux box (have played around with Ubuntu in the past, so really like it, but used Mint just for sh#!$-n-giggles) and it was really easy and simple to do.  Just have to set the proper permissions for the folder with the auto-created/setup 'emby' acct and you're golden :)
