I’m currently changing my setup a bit and I’m thinking about firing up my Raspberry Pi 4 again as a home server kind thing. I typically use Arch (BTW) as my go-to linux distro but IIRC arch on the Pi gave me some trouble last time I tried it.
Does anyone know how stable arch on Pi is right now?
Also, is there a particular reason I should or shouldn’t use the native Raspberry Pi OS?
I know I didn’t write about uses really but that’s because I haven’t figured out what I want to do with it yet… I’ve recently moved my main server (mainly media) to my folks’ house since they got fiber (gotta go fast), but I think it makes sense having some lower profile server running in my own home so I can connect to it remotely.

I run NixOS my Pi HomeServer. It gives you a lot of flexibility, if you don’t mind reading into how the config/build process works.
