Wouldn’t the people who are going to do that already be Linux users though? I don’t know anyone who has a home media server who hasn’t at least experimented with Linux. It takes some technical knowledge and desire to get everything configured correctly.

Arch is awesome! That’s what I use for my gaming desktop and my laptop. It’s near the top of the list for this new system I’m going to build, but I’m considering more hands-off distros too like Fedora, and its media focused derivatives.

I work with a guy who has a couple home servers, runs an AD domain and Exchange server on them among other things, all Windows. He doesn't touch Linux.

Might be the exception, but at the very least they do exist.
