Relying on easy, simple stuff does not (always) mean a good thing let alone being good for you and your mental health. Even less so allowing proprietary, capitalism-driven developers to do whatever they want with your PC (which makes me wonder what you are even doing in this community in first place if you just "don't care"), but hey... you do you.
For the sake of "saving" your post (even as someone who has no idea how nextcloud works)... I made a quick search regarding nextcloud and the nextcloud docs says it needs a minimum of 128MiB ram per process while they recommend 512MiB which doesn't seem that much of a resource beast at all...? It COULD work, but not as good as your typical nextcloud setup with over 10 processes or something of the sort. Probably a headless/bare metal setup with dietpi, I guess?
Then again, as I said previously... this is a totally ignorant take on saving your post, but eh... who on earth would want to run nextcloud with less than 10 processes anyways? So I'm gonna go with "Yeah it does, but you'll (eventually) want to switch to a better sbc later on."
My orange pi zero 3 hosting nextdns via docker:
(It's like nothing is happening at all -- under 1W power draw go brrr)
Power Consumption: Normal: 1.2W(12V/100mA)，Max: 6W(12V/500mA)，Min: 0.096W(12V/8mA)
That looks waaay too good to be true.
How anyone could prefer Windows to Linux is truly a mystery to me.
Easy of use. The "Click here and I'll do the stuff for you" kind of "easy of use".
...I mean... Linux CAN be EASY to use -- even MORE than Windows. But for that, the user has to dig in deep. Really deep.
This is a IT-related question -- of course being "oddly specific" is a great idea. Even if the job in question does not use anything docker related.
Even a simple "I know how to setup a network-wide ad blocker on docker by using my own image" can get you far, so yep.
Anything beyond setting up a network-wide dns blocker on docker, so... crowdsec, fail2ban, some proxy-related stuff, zero trust tunnelers and so on.
Why? Because its overkill to my current setup and I don't see myself using em for real other than for learning purposes, and thats it.
And before someone asks "Do you protect your server at all?". Other than making some "hacky" stuff with my internet so all ports appear as closed whilst they actually aren't? Eh, not really. Still, my server is about to reach a year of running nonstop 24/7 and it has never been hacked a single time since then, so naaaw.
Eh, archinstall is a thing nowadays -- there is nothing to "learn" on arch anymore.
Good ol' Windows 69. :^)
