the standard for plex/jellyfin is onboard intel igpu because it has access to intel quicksync. as a bonus you will be saving a LOT of money over the years not paying for dgpu idle electricity costs

I just saw this @zczachor and I had a similar post myself, Maybe read some the things there, and look what suits your needs: I also linked it in the other post but this was my final build: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/b/dHBj4D One of the things to keep in mind: Intel and dedicated GPU is best if you want to use Plex on your HexOS installation. or even the on-board GPU for the intel I believe is slightly better then the on-board of AMD (I have not tested this personally, and for me an on-board AMD is enough, even as a Virtual machine).

Hi Jonathan, I'm excited to follow your journey with HexOS! It's great to see you're already exploring integrations like Immich and Plex. One key piece I think would really strengthen the platform—especially for home and SOHO users—is Nextcloud. TrueNAS has always lacked an easy, built-in way to sync and manage files via a web UI and mobile apps. Nextcloud could fill that gap perfectly. It's also one of the main reasons I believe Synology continues to thrive in the SOHO space—the simplicity and reliability of file syncing just works. I'm really looking forward to seeing this kind of core functionality become part of HexOS. Keep up the great work—looking forward to your next update!
