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.
