I got this solely in mind to run a media server. Once I got everything set up and was able to stop fighting Linux this was pretty much perfect. It's small, quiet, and has a lot of I/O for me to expand it later on.The only complaint I think you could leverage is a lack of hdmi but for a usecase like mine where all you're doing is letting it run in an uninhabited room and using Jellyfin to stream movies off of it to TVs, phones, etc it's pretty much perfect.I also will say DO NOT use Ubuntu LTS, use Linux Mint XFCE. I don't know if it's a hardware compatibillity issue or what but I spent the first 12 hours with this thing troubleshooting the former with issues like external drives not mounting and even the entire system not booting. I even reinstalled Ubuntu like 3 times. However, when I just installed mint and manually installed openSSH along with using the jellyfin bash script it ran perfectly with no real issues aside from fussing with folder permissions for a couple minutes.
