I personally use Kodi as Plex is not open source, though there's also Jellyfin. Let me know if you need help with Docker as I work in the industry
I truly do not understand how to work with Bazzite's immutable file structure. I get why it's good, but it also means I can't just run a command or open a Debbie or Rippum to install software. I also understand that containerizing the media server is better somehow, but I don't really get the point nor do I get how to actually do any of that. Like, it's faster than a VM but why is it actually bad practice to just install and run all this stuff "normally" like I can on Windows?
Apparently I'm supposed to use a quadlet for plex?
Presumably I'm also going to have to use containers to set up services like Radarr and Sonarr and Bazarr for automatic torrent and subtitle management?
