Is there any space related limitations? I started with a Raspberry pi 4, but thats not a good usecase, especially due to missing support for transcoding, so i upgraded to Intel NUC N5105 which handles stuff fine, the drives is in external bays, but i am looking for a multi drive bay solution that also have a fan. My limitation is space for the setup.
But the most important thing is to consider if you wanna use QSV (Intel CPUs) or GPU (Nvidia/Intel)
I use Linux Debian on a headless server, i dont know how much heavier Windows is, but i would never use Windows for a task that requires 24/7/365 usage and Jellyfin with docker-compose - thats easy to backup, restore, upgrade and downgrade if needed
