I use Fossil at home since it's just me. The single file approach takes up less space than the comparable git tree.
Fossil has the ability to push to git, which I do periodically just for curiosity.

I run an OrangePi Zero with 512MB of RAM as a home server since it both works and is a fun experience.
An example would be the excellent diffing tools accessible through localhost, as well as things like issue tracking, which git doesn't understand as a concept.
There were some deal-breakers for me (kind of esoteric) and I switched back to git, but not without some annoyance.
The gc command doesn't help, and git automatically runs it after some operations.
Ever try and copy the .git part of a git repo? When it gets big, the copy gets bogged down by the sheer number of files.
All of this is also possible to do on a repository locally, without cloning.
I use Windows + Linux machines + Pi and share between them so don't use the Pi4 exclusively but have noticed a difference in its ability to handle and open the repo.
