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.
Hello, OP. I’m currently using Orange PI 3 LTS as my home server and this thing is even less commonly known and less supported than Raspberry. I have spent couple of days trying to make Arch ARM work on this board but at the end I gave up and installed Manjaro ARM which is basically Arch with some of stuff preinstalled (but not too much in the minimal edition). It was super easy to install and run, and now I happily use my Orange PI with Arch-based distro. Maybe you also can give it a try
