It’s probably been 15 years since I’ve used Linux and Mint seems to be the recommended distro for people who aren’t all that familiar with Linux like me, but I didn’t know if there was anything I should know with this ThinkPad model that anyone is familiar with. My searching around shows people saying everything from it was painless to install to they had tons of issues and I have no idea how common either one is.
So any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah. Plex will do exactly what it sounds like you are wanting to do.
I know plex and I have used it for an year. But I access files on my computer using my mobile without any app. Is that possible with linux?
Yes you can access Windows shares directly and play the media from there with no issues. I do it all the time.
