Windows server 2019 vs 2012

Not sure, I saw 2022 is out if you want to help QA it? :p
 
Is 2019 less resource intensive than 2012?
difficult to say but personally it feels abit slower then 2012 to me.I generally stop most unused services and have it running with no visual effects on .Are you wanting to install a 2019 RDS Server ?
 
last year i upgraded a few TS servers from 2008R2 to Win2019 RDS , and out the box had terrible performance issues on my 2019 vm.After alot of mucking around the issue was caused by the MS Fair share "feature".By disabling cpu , disk and network fair sharing , the server speed drastically improved.

 
2012's original release is EOL with regards to the Extended End Date in 2023. Turn off any services not required in 2019 and run that.
While 2022 is out, unless you want to be on the bleeding edge, I'd recommend letting it settle into more mainstream use with Microsoft ironing out some of the release issues they might experience before upgrading to that OS.
