Ill keep it short and sweet, io have a pi4 that i tried to use for a couple of things and never really quite worked, whats a genuine helpfull thing to use it for? what system/program would be cool? multiple maybe?

how would an amateur that wasnts thing to just work that dont require an hour of commandline fiddling to work?

I tried a pihole, barely got it to work and never properly connected with the internet i tried retroarch, mostly worked but realized its way easier and more comfortable to use my main machine i tried funkwhale, never got it to install i tried invidious, worked on my main machine, never was able to connect via another machine on the pi (and with the program feeling a little in danger now i felt a lil iffy)

i request assistance and would appreciate it heavily, any and all alternatives, tutorials and help will be seriously considered

Mine runs

a software raid as an external drive
samba to provide shares on this drives
minidlna to stream photos, music and video
rsnapshot backups of my server
docker-compose with
portainer
airsonic
photoprism (using a old usb stick as a swapdrive for ai stuff)
foundryvtt
paperless-ng

But each and every one of those apart from the software raid required fiddling, that's what the pi was invented for... To encourage fiddling and learning.
