Hi, I am looking to make my first dedicated jellyfin server rather than running it on my desktop, but don’t know what gpu to get. I will have only a few users and want to avoid Nvidia because I will be on linux + foss drivers. Any recommendations?

    That depends on how you intend on importing your Jellyfin media–if you are able to transcode it to a format that Jellyfin can display natively, then you can even run multiple streams on a Raspberry Pi 4 with no issues (as long as your bandwidth can handle it) I am running Jellyfin in Docker on an old HP laptop with an AMD A10-9600P from 2016. Even with no GPU set up, the processor is able to transcode two simultaneous 1080P streams, although I’m intending on transcoding everything into a codec with native support soon
