Same, I think the only thing preventing me from using mlem exclusively is the lack of an image viewer.

I reaaaaaaally want to avoid purchasing new hardware, I feel bad enough about buying my Pi before finding out it’s actually not that well suited for my needs at the time (media server.

I see, this aligns with my previous experience with Arch on Pi. I guess I’ll stick with Pi OS Lite for now. Thanks!

I’m surprised there aren’t many people talking about Mlem. It’s far from perfect and it still misses some basic features (such as a full screen image viewer lol) but I find it to be the prettiest and most intuitive of the bunch.
