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

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.

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

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

look for docker-compose + whatyouwant specifically, it's way more straightforward. once you have one set up, it get easier adding on different software.
