So you got a Pi and dumped an CPU-intensive, famously single-threaded game server and called it a useless toy when it didn't work.
It like trying to tow a trailer with a dirt bike and complaining when it doesn't move.
The PI as a server shines in running low-to-medium power services and having a low entry and upkeep costs.
I run a Plex server, Gitea server, samba filesharing and qbitorrent on a 4gb rpi4 and it just sit there and chugs along using like a tenth of the power a normal computer would, taking almost no space, making no noise and costing like a fifteenth something like a NUC would.
And as a bonus, if it ever does go kaput I can just get another rpi4 and the entire process of setting it all up again would take me 5 minutes max.
