And when you see how bad their windows support is it’s a miracle anyone buys this garbage.

It’s a neat concept. But at the moment only Apple has pulled it off well. And that’s only if you stick with Mac OS.

    RPis have been pulling off Linux on ARM pretty well in terms of software support for a while now, but they're also tinkering boards and not necessarily good for a daily driver.

    Reasonable for a lightly-loaded home server, however. I've got Arch Linux ARM (btw) running as my home Forgejo / Transmission / DHCP / NAS, and it just sits and sips power while providing all those services 24/7 like a champ.

    Shout out to ALARM for having basically the entire Arch ecosystem (including 99% of AUR) all working and ready-to-go.
