My spouse and I both use Arch (we use Arch BTW) on our desktop PC's. We also have a Pi, an ODroid and now a Dell Optiplex running as a game server. Our media server has DietPi which is an option I would recommend.
My spouse just tried Arch on the Dell and found it would have done great as a server but more work required to get stuff set up, especially with ensuring dependencies are installed. So he scrapped that idea and went with tried and true DietPi.
We've messed about with a few different flavours of server distros over the years and it's always come down to what we need the server to do, feature set and ease of use and configuration.
It's been a while since we last used RaspiOS but every time we've given it a go, it's never lasted long because it's always given us problems and just hasn't suited our needs as well as DietPi has.
