Forgive the question, I have an idea of what I want to run on it (jellyfin, sonarr, etc) but I am having a hard time figuring out optimal OS to run.
Windows? Linux? Something else? Any beginner advice is welcome!

proxmox and then you can run either LXC containers directly on it or VMs when necessary. Almost anything linux-based can be in a container on proxmox and has no need for an actual VM. I have a mini cluster of 3 proxmox servers running jellyfin, all and the -arrs, nzbget, nginx, searxng, pihole, ombi, seaweedfs, streammaster, dizquetv, syncthing, nitter, teddit, piped, vaultwarden, changedetector, freshrss, headscale, rimgo, nextcloud, ntfy, quetre, uptime kuma, homeassistant, kavita, scribe, nzbget and a Windows Server VM. The stuff could all run on one of them, but I like to be able to move stuff around since the 3 instances are not all the same. One is an older server that I've had forever. One is about 5 years old, but has 32GB of RAM and 60+TB of disk. The new one has 64GB and an SSD that will do about 7GB/s.
