Hello, I’m looking to setup a simple Linux-based media center PC, as I really can’t stand ad ridden TV interfaces, using an old tiny Lenovo Thinkcentre with a Ryzen 5 2400GE or something similar.
Does anyone have any experience with rendering 4K video on such a weak iGPU? All the information I seem to find is Windows only.
Hope I’m not in the wrong community.

The important thing you want to look out for is hardware decoding.
This iGPU supports h264 and h265, so you should be fine with pretty much everything you throw at it. It does not support AV1, but adoption will take quite some time so I wouldn’t bother.
When AV1 eventually gets mainstream you can just put a cheap (non-“gaming”) GPU in there for 50$ or so.
So yea, you will be fine.
Should be overpowered, only thing I’d recommend is having 2 channels of ddr4.
it will be enough for YT playback, since streaming services don’t support PCs
I was thinking of running jellyfin, and have been experimenting with it for the last few days.
What do you mean by streaming services not supporting PCs? I’ve had both HBO Max and Prime running perfectly on Linux.
