Re-doing my digital HiFi after a lightning strike, and need advice from guys running Roon.

Most basic question first. Can I run Roon core on Linux and use Tidal? I will also add Plex to the same machine, making it the single source of video and audio content for my home network. I know running this on Windows will work, but I'd prefer to run Linux (Mint or Ubuntu) as the operating system.

The new PC is a Core-i7 with 16GB RAM and a 250GB SSD drive. Actual content will live on a couple of 3TB drives I have lying around.

I love the idea of being able to control Roon from a tablet/phone/pc. This would become my remote control for using Tidal and my local audio files.

My new DAC is a Mytek Brooklyn MQA capable device, so key here is if Roon core on Linux will give me access to Tidal masters.

Advice from someone who's done something similar would be great.
