Another benefit of Jellyfin is that it supports hardware transcoding out of the box, unlike Plex where you have to pay for the Plex Pass sub to enable it. Furthermore, Plex is trying to hard to be a "social platform" and has tons of bloatware.

A cheap $120 dlls Intel N100 MiniPC can transcode multiple streams with ease. Shit I am transcoding 60-70gb 4K REMUXes down to my 1080p clients easily using GPU HW Transcoding. Best part is the power consumption - it pulls around 8-10 watts at 100%. Just 4-5 watts idle.

Still enough power left to setup a Wireguard VPN server, a dedicated web UI torrent client, etc.
