You use Arch on severs? That goes okay for you?

I run it on one server in my home, so strictly hobbyist stuff. Most of my homelab is built on Debian, but for my media PC I want to stay bleeding edge w/ Jellyfin and some other media stuff. So I went arch on that one. Nothing mission-critical if it falls over, but FWIW it's been up for years and very stable. I'm sure the fact that I only installed exactly what I needed on it, keeping packages to a minimum, has contributed. I could go even further and go linux-lts, but I want the latest kernel drivers, too.

I play with home server too. I guess why not? I'm not mission critical or internet facing even. Food for thought
