Considering a Linux distribution for a Raspberry Pi 4, other than Raspbian, could be a great choice. What do you think would work best?

I favor Arch for its frequent updates, though Fedora is also a great choice.

Fedora seems a great choice, and Pop!_OS also looks solid, so I could explore both and pick the best one.

Also think about Devuan. It runs on Debian without systemd, which significantly impacts memory usage, stability, and security. The latest stable version, Beowulf, is now available.

Manjaro provides XFCE and KDE versions for the Raspberry Pi 4.

OpenSUSE is great too. For a reliable server setup, choose OpenSUSE Leap. If you prefer the newest software versions, try Tumeweed.
