I recently planned to run Hemers Agent, so I installed Arch Linux on my computer along with 1Panel. At first, there were no issues using it, but!—I must emphasize the “but”—after the computer sat idle for a while and I ran a system update, problems arose: the 1Panel service failed to auto-start on boot. I had to reinstall 1Panel, but that still didn’t fix the problem. Now I’ll never dare install Arch Linux on a server again…
I generally install the Debian/Ubuntu family of distros on my servers.
Haven’t had any major mishaps so far.
Arch Linux has a feature called rolling updates. While this lets you get the latest software, it doesn’t guarantee the security of server software. If a vulnerability appears in a latest software version and enters the Arch Linux repository, your server could become a zombie!
