I’ve been using DietPi on my SBC home servers (NAS, media service, pi-hope, etc.) since 2017 or so.
It’s an excellent distri for headless operation and makes CLI easy to use for somewhat casual users.

For media, I use Jellyfin on an M1 MacMini.
How do you get around RAM requirements on SBC home servers with little devices like this? I am often streaming 4K files and the encoding/decoding can sometimes be mildly intensive depending on the file.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4B. Clients can directly play the media without any need for realtime transcoding. I could 4K transcoding being challenging for older Raspberry Pi SBCs.
