If you already have arch installed, don’t worry about how hard it is to install. All done! You can also run the cachyos kennel in arch if you want

It was in his reaction video to LTT trying it Linux again

No, Arch for laptops/desktops. Debian for servers.

I had 2 of these for years ran back to Synology surveillance station and they were great. I’ve expanded to 6 cameras now and bought the Reolink NVR. It works great, with good picture quality. Pretty inexpensive setup overall. No downtime. Very happy with Reolink.

I also use aegis. Have been for years and it works great
