So as I look to build my first dedicated media server, I’m curious about what OS options I have which will check all the boxes. I’m interested in Unraid, and if there’s a Linux distro that works especially well I’d be willing to check that out as well. I just want to make sure that whatever I pick, I can use qbittorrent, Proton, and get the Arr suite working
Are there any resources available for how to do this? I feel like I more or less understand how Docker works conceptually, but every time I try to actually use it, I feel in over my head very quickly
look for docker-compose + whatyouwant specifically, it’s way more straightforward. once you have one set up, it get easier adding on different software.

Debian with docker compose or podman.
That’s what I’m running. I’m sure you could squeeze more performance out of a specialized OS, but headless Debian is fast and easy enough.
This. Besides, stability beats out 2-5% performance gains any day of the week, for servers.

Search for dockstarter and trash guides. It will give you the foundations of what you need
Thank you!

The best thing is: if something doesn’t work, you tweak the compose file instead of having to retype or edit a command.
And you can have a GitHub of your compose files and any supporting config files.
I don’t get how some people can raw dog a docker run command!
Thank you!
