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
It’s easy to set it up as a mobile “off-grid” wifi access point to host a calibre library of banned books.

I personally love my pi 4 as a media server, it is capable of running jellyfin and navidrome just fine.
I also use it for klipper for 3d printing, I don’t know if that is something relevant to you.
I have mine running NextCloud for syncing files between Android & my computer.
the nextcloud android client isn’t the best when it comes to automatically syncing… I’ve read that one should use Syncthing for function syncing, but haven’t set up that.
I’m running a triple boot using PINN with:
- Lakka - For retro gaming of old platforms (GBA, PS1 work great)
- LibreElect - For KODI
- PiOS Lite based on bullseye which automatically boots to a user and starts steamlink so I can play there with my stronger desktop computer.
