It runs equally awful on my x86 server as on my ARM server. The issues to me are more like "hacking" config.php to turn off auto-fetching ALL link previews and now that block doesn't work anymore. It's a serious privacy concern.
It's about all them important fixes that we've been waiting for, all them "killer apps" that never works quite well and all them "new technology" features that gets lumped onto users who begs for at least a toggle to turn it off but no. The designers knows best, even if their implementation breaks NC's own design rules.
And now we're on the AI train. I doubt there will ever be a way to turn off the mail "prioritized" inbox that doesn't work. I doubt we'll get that E2EE that NC's been touting for what feels like a decade. I big doubt we'll see Nextcloud Social for the Fediverse. And so many other things officially presented by NC as core components.
It just gets worse and worse and if there were any reasonable alternative, I'd definitively consider switching.
