For a while Intel's QuickSync was I think one of the better for transcoding (e.g., for Jellyfin). Didn't see mention of this in the article, I wonder if AMD is on par now?

On Linux VA-API works really well for AMD video encoding. I have a small home server with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and my experience has been excellent.

The only downside is that some companies decided hardware decoding violated some patent and disabled hardware encoding in the default va-api package. You just need to switch to the freeworld version of va-api and everything works well.
