I have a single network with my jellyfin server and wifi devices, I run Pi-Hole with DNS for internal things and can use Jellyfin while at home or out and about.

In Pi-Hole look for Local DNS Records to add your own suff

maybe its just me, but self hosting is more about learning to run and then simplify my setup. Thats why I read the documentation for the project I want to deploy, then see if I have anything that looks similar. But as I've been doing self hosting for almost 20 years, plus working at a SaaS company. I have done a lot of things with a lot of different tech

I leave my servers running 24/7, thats the point of a server. Also my home automation would be a little pointless if its off.

Its all horses for courses, if your homelab is a playground to test things out then turning it off when not is use is fine. But some have live services that you may want at a moments notice and there for having it up all the time is better.

Linux has been ready for ARM for a long time, Android is linux and have been running for a long time. Also see the Raspberry Pi and PiOS, based on Debian.

I run a Pi and there are boat loads of things ARM ready

me remembering I caused an outage yesterday by deleting nginx config 🤦‍♂️

that looks to be almost all steaming services adding an ad-supported option, you now pay to not have ads.

Back to the high sea's to watch anything then

also Ubuntu will add more complexity to things, Debian will cover most of what you need.
