I saw you're having trouble with Debian at the moment. I don't know what the exact problems you're having are, the two things I can think of is making sure you're in a root user, and you can edit individual files through terminal using nano

thanks for the advice. I think I might need to actually log in as root which obviously debian has disabled (for good reason). then it turns out replacing the files for plex is only half the battle. permissions have gotta be right, and stuff has to reference each other properly. Thinking it might be easier to go back to windows sadly.
