I already have a nas running on one. I already have a Kodi/HTPC desktop. Running endeavor w/ KDE.
I was going to put regular arch on it but was wondering if anyone had some other ideas.

Post it to me?
3 thou.
Homebrew router?
I put 3 of them into a proxmox cluster with multi network plugged into the WIFI m.2 A+E slots so they can act as router and other servers and I can migrate from system to system when/if I need to do maintenance.
I was thinking that… Have you tried this?
Yes - I have been running IPFire on an old desktop for several years now and I really like it.
I used an old thin client as a pfSense firewall for years… but the DSL into passthrough mode and effectively made that a modem, so in effect pfSense was the “router”
If you don’t have something like that, it’s a step up from a standard ISP one.
Not sure about long term power consumption though…
Could turn it into a emulation box, play some classics.
I kinda already have that on my HTPC with retroarch. Any tips for roms? Feel free to dm.
Do you have experience with N64 rooms and modern controllers?
Docker host?
I run docker on my nas. (Openmediavault)
I’ve tried it twice but can’t seem to get the feel for it. I thinknit might be overkill for anything I need.
I was about to say something snarky about VMWare, but… Proxmox took me a bit to get used to, but now that I have it figured out, I really like it. It’s totally overkill for me, but one day…
Scratch machine to test Ansible playbooks for maintaining and restoring your other servers.
I just use VM’s for that. I recently learned that Vagrant, an infra as code for virtual machines designed for creating testing VMs, creates an Ansible Inventory that you can run your playbooks at.
