By having the required soldering skills what I meant was that you have the capacity to either replace or upgrade the ram should it become broken or require an upgrade down the line. Also that you may want to upgrade the ram anyways if you will stick with Windows since 8gb for Windows is not very optimal.
And yeah, not to throw an anvil on you, but one possibility you didn't consider is that it could also be damaged and then you'd be stuck with a machine with broken soldered ram you can't fix if you don't have said skills.
As for recommended OS, that would obviously be Linux; if you are willing to give it a shot, but are new comer to it, Ubuntu seems like your best bet, as it is closely tracked and supported by the Jellyfin team, has more recent hardware support without going through hoops and soon will follow the latest releases of the Linux kernel more rapidly; it's also more user friendly than Debian, which is my preferred choice (for more advanced users).
