So, I decided after 15+yrs to give Kodi the boot and try Jellyfin instead.
I just upgraded to a new PC and my old PC I'm thinking should be good enough to run as a server.
Here are the specs... for those unfamiliar with Xeon, it's basically in i7-7700 without a built in GPU.

Should this be enough for running a server for 2 x TV's, plus a laptop? The TV's are connected using CAT6 ethernet, no WiFi. The server will be Cat6 as well. Laptop is WiFi.
Also... I have about 20min experience with Ubuntu. How hard is it to setup this stuff on a Linux system? I plan to hopefully connect to the server with my PC for dropping new files onto the drives, probably like I do now with mapped network drives. Is there much difference in performance? or just put Win10 on and save myself some grief?
