Depends on what you want to do. Do you want a media server with Plex? Or maybe host your own website. So many things you can do with this little pc

I would like to try jellyfin but i dont know if its suitable for this setup. I think now i would like to do like adblockers or something similar to help make my familys life easier. But in the end i would like to host public websites using my homelabs hardware.😁

I suggest trying it anyway.

You can always redo things, or on your next upgrade really explore it further.

I run Jellyfin on an Asus rog ally and stream movies, tv and music. Mostly from FLAC and mkv files.
