I've watched 4K Youtube on that cpu without issues.

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.

That should be totally fine for 4k video playback.
That's good to hear. Thank you :)
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.
by not supporting PCs, I meant 4K/Dolby Atmos/HDR streaming (except netflix, which gives you HDR and Atmos if you use their shitty windows app)
Oh, I see. To be honest, I never really cared about HDR, but as far as I know it's not supported on Linux at all.
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.
Somehow missed the 11 and for a second I thought you wanted to put a Vega 7 in a mini PC just for video playback 😅
But a Vega 11 should be fine. It's mainly about the video acceleration chip a GPU has built in and less about its overall power in computing.
