Raspberry Pi - Arch Linux or Raspberry Pi OS
Raspberry Pi - Arch Linux or Raspberry Pi OS
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.

I've used raspberry pi os and shortly arch arm, both work ok. I remeber having an issue with some python packages on arch arm, but thats it. Personally I chose Debian testing for my headless pi4 and have been happy. It's running Syncthing, Mariadb, a few python scripts to pull data from pi pico-w. FTP server for IP cameras recording, Pydio, Pihole, and Gitea.
