Forgive the question, I have an idea of what I want to run on it (jellyfin, sonarr, etc) but I am having a hard time figuring out optimal OS to run.

Windows? Linux? Something else? Any beginner advice is welcome!

    Why desktop? Server boots faster and cleaner, and the machine is slated to be serving anyway.

      No op, but I did the server first and then switched to desktop for the sole reason of wanting to click on some things instead of terminal only

        Never give up a chance to learn something new.

      I had issues getting hardware acceleration working on server…but, I guess that isn’t a issue on a mini pc

      Also with them being new Desktop offers a lot of tools and easier to navigate. However I do a minimal install not a full one

        What’s easier to navigate than a CLI?
