From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I would not recommend swapping out major components without doing a new install. Linux installation is quite simple these days, so back up your configs and put them in place in the new installation.
If you run things in containers, these kinds of issues are not as relevant. You can run jellyfin in docker the same on any host and pass the GPU through for xcoding.
Unfortunately I don't think there's enough info to answer your question specifically.
I don't use containers because I haven't wrapped my head around docker lol. But I have thought maybe that portability could be worth implementing with the new hardware.. right now it's just the host system with jellyfin, a few *arr apps and supporting services installed through apt with their recommended repositories
Thank you though I will consider this approach. If I moved to docker, setting it up may be worth it to avoid this headache next time
So for a cheat code, check out "ansible-nas" on github. It will do all the heavy lifting for you.
Waahh this looks incredible. You have provided much to think about, this seems perfect
