Hi everyone,
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.
Pi 4B and Compute Module 4 should have mainline kernel support since 2021. The device tree is present in the repo under
broadcom.Arch Linux should work pretty flawlessly now, you can follow AArch64 Installation section in https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/broadcom/raspberry-pi-4 and give it a try.
