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!

Linux for sure. Whatever distro seems cool to you.
Thanks! Any specific distro you enjoy using?

I specifically enjoy NixOS but I wouldn’t recommend it to beginners as the documentation isn’t great and the distro works differently from all other distros.
I would recommend linux mint.
You can’t go wrong with Ubuntu, or kubuntu if you like kde.
