Streamio and RD are so easy that even my luddite wife can test all the linux distros she wants without my help.

Honestly, it's even solid without the Real Debrid addition (though I use Real-Debrid and think it's great). Just add the Torrentio add-on and you'll have tons of streams for just about everything.

Are we talking easier than Plex+ VPN and torrent? My buddy can access all his content anywhere he can login to Plex. It just means pre-downloading.
Genuinely curious if it’s worth giving up an already setup Plex server to look into this.

Way easier, the catalogs are ready for you, you don’t need to download anything in advance, you can use it in any device too.
If you use real debrid, there’s no need for VPN either. So it’s cheaper also. Real debrid costs like 3 USD a month.
It’s also very low in maintenance, I touch my configuration every 3 months to update my real debrid details and that’s it.

I haven’t given up on my Plex server but this is so much easier. Hand my kids the remote and they can navigate the Stremio app and watch whatever without me having to hunt for it.
