As it is going to be an LMS server then Pi4 with 4GB RAM. You should definitely wire it. You also need to to add a USB HD to store your music. The Pi4 benefits from USB3 so look for a 1TB USB3 SSD disk. As to OS look at piCoreplayer. No Linux skills required and lots of help here which will explain how to install it, add LMS and generally get it going.
