If all you're doing is plex and a minecraft server, look into proxmox or unraid.

Unraid is paid but very noob friendly compared to most others. It's also very flexible hardware wise.

I've heard great things about Free NAS. would unraid be similar to that?

They share similarities for sure. I've not used it though. I know unraid offers a 30 day testing license. Not sure about the others.

I use TrueNAS and just checked: There is an available Minecraft app and also something called MineOS (seems to be a front end to make managing the server easier). My plex running through the same app ecosystem stays updated and hasn't failed me yet. I used to run the service separate from the NAS, but this is real nice.

FreeNAS and UnRaid probably have the same functionality.
