flatpak just makes sense imo

It’s Alright but for me microcontrollers like the one you told me are out of way since i need to run most and foremost docker for things like jellyfin /adgaurd home etc.

I really Dont know I am Ok with running chinese boards and also https://pine64.com/product-category/rockpro64/?v=0446c16e2e66

the boards you are showing me are 80-90$ which to me is maybe a lot since raspberry pi prices have started to slow down as well

Plus some dockers may not work and jellyfin is saying its not recommended to run it on rasp pi so i dont know actually

Thanks for the suggestion (I am looking forward to other comments as well) Well , I like x86 in general but not for self-hosting maybe? i have heard that they are bulky and take a lot of energy
