So I am finally going to get around to setting up a dedicated media server with network storage and all that. I have previously read up and decided on this Beelink Mini S12 PC. But I have heard about lots of problems with some of the latest intel chips and such. Does that affect this mini pc?

And since it has been nearly a year, is that still the best idea for a media server? I mostly want it to be quite since it is always on, and I don't want to hear it down the hall in my bedroom at night like my current windows pc. But outside of that, whatever works best. It seems pretty inexpensive compared to what I was expecting.

Are you talking about general issues, or specific to encoding/decoding with Intel? And are you installing on bare metal?

Because I've had issues encoding/decoding after upgrading my docker host from Ubuntu 23.04 or thereabouts, but I've always blamed it on having a server motherboard that doesn't provide ReBAR.

There are a lot of things there I don't know much about... yet. People have said that the issues in the news don't apply to the linked mini pc because it is a 12 gen. I haven't even picked a distro to install on it yet, so I don't know much about the versions. And I don't have any idea what ReBAR is in this context..
