Frequently asked questions
What is the latest Plex Desktop version?
Plex distributes the current platform build from its official downloads page and updates releases independently by platform.
Is Plex Desktop the same as Plex Media Server?
No. Plex Desktop is a playback client; Plex Media Server organizes and serves a personal library to Plex apps.
Does Plex Desktop support Windows ARM64 or Linux ARM64?
Plex's public desktop download guidance does not label native Windows or Linux ARM64 packages, so What-Version does not claim them.
