If you have an old desktop to repurpose, jellyfin is best ran on one of those with an Intel a380 gpu as long as the motherboard supports resizable bar. Cpu-wise jellyfin doesn't really do anything intensive, and intel's gpus all come with the same 2x video pipelines so upgrading to a 770 wouldn't add any performance. If you're buying new, my recommendation would be to get one of those intel white label laptops xpg made for a while. They can be had around $300-500 and come with a intel arc gpu you can use for encoding, resizable bar, decent ram, and a decent cpu. Great little jellyfin boxes.

You can get a used M1 Mac mini for not much more
I have one of these that I use as a Jellyfin server. It's not affected by those problems and has been performing more than adequately for my purposes, after setting up hardware transcoding
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.
Shouldn’t have troubles since it’s 12th gen.
I have a Beelink with an 8th gen i5 that I bought a year or two ago and I love it. Runs Plex 24/7 right next to one of my tvs and the only time I hear it is if I’m in the same room when someone wakes it up to start a stream. The fan kicks in for 2-3 seconds then goes quiet.
It only affects Intel 13 and 14th gen. That one linked is a gen 12.
