Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine (sh.itjust.works)

Great news! I started my selfhost journey over a year ago, and I'm finding myself needing better hardware. There's so many services I want that my NAS can't handle. And I unfortunately need to add GPU transcoding to my Jellyfin setup.

What's the best OS for a machine focused on containers and (getting started with) VMs? I've heard Proxmox

What CPU specs should I be concerned about?

I'm willing to buy a pre-built as long as its hardware has sufficient longevity.

This is precisely what I do with my nas.

I have 9...ish tiny/mini/micros for compute, two NAS (locally).

Solid approach

9? That's quite a bit of compute lol.

My journey started with 1 server, then 4, then 5 (one functioning as a NAS), then 1 (just the NAS box), then I moved and decided to slim it down to a proper NAS and 1 mini PC/NUC clone. Now I'm up to two because the first was an Intel N105 which just isn't up for the challenges lol

3 are for the family, 3 are for work stuff, 3 are for me as toys.

(Plus a Mac mini and a p330 as spare desktops for me, thus the -ish)
