The specs are perfectly suitable for your user count. If you choose to use a RAM disk for transcodes, get 32GB of memory, but using your SSD for transcodes is fine. As long as you're not writing transcodes to an HDD. I prefer Ubuntu over Debian. Mainly because it includes a lot of device drivers by default, though Debian can be made to install those drivers, no problem. As for Ubuntu vs Windows......its Windows. Why the F would you want to run a server on Windows? More memory usage. More jank configurations (mainly around networking and firewalls). Configuring file/folder permissions sucks. Stick with Linux.
If you go with 22.04.3 LTS Server, during install you will have the option to install the HWE kernel (kernel 6.2). Do that since the iGPU needs the newer kernel. By default 22.04 server will install 5.15. The Alder Lake iGPU support for kernel 5.15 is incomplete.
Any HDD will be able to serve 4 people. 1Gbps on the server is sufficient.
