I've been dist updating my fileserver for a decade and noticed over the last year or so that I'm using considerably more disk space than I expected on my OS drive. I see a lot of Snap installs (which I'd rather not use), and am getting messages from apt update telling me there's additional security packages if I switch to some Ubuntu paid subscription or something.

I don't really care to look more into it. I've been meaning to rebuild the hardware anyways, and will probably install Arch or Debian.

I'm an arch desktop user, but I'd never use it for a server. Debian for that please.

I've been using it for desktop for the last 2 years and haven't had any issues preventing me from booting (that werent self-caused). I'm actually quite impressed with how well it works, but I do have what I consider a healthy distrust of the AUR and tend to stay away unless I can't find a solution to my problem in the official repos.

What makes you hesitant to use it as server?
