Bad experience on selfhosting nextcloud (lemmy.ml)

Am I the only one here that got really bad experience with nextcloud and didn't figured how to make it work correctly?

I'm talking about painfully slow login pages, ages to show files, even upgraded hardware with disk entirely capable of saturing full gig network connection and still...
Getting only about ~30ish MB/s when downloading from nextcloud.
Incredly slow document loading with collabora..

Even if my hardware is not new-gen, a app like immich works flawlessly and loads everything instantly.
Is it the fault of next cloud or am I doing something wrong?
Are alternatives like seafile or openCloud better?

Willing your help fellow selfhosters

Seeing most of the negative comments here noting bare metal etc.

Moving to the AIO build solved literally every issue I had with the single exception being the colabora office stuff.

For the image stuff, basic file, download etc... been great.

The Android app gives me grief, but I suspect that's my janky Samsung phone killing it's permissions.

Considering they only officially support the AIO, it's worth trying that out before passing full judgement. It has flaws, for sure, but it's immensely complex and the AIO nullifies many of the variables that they can't otherwise account for easily.

I'm also here on AIO with a great experience. It's snappy and the website loads faster than Onedrive ever did.

I had a docker install prior to AIO being available, and there was a lot of tweaking to get it running nicely (though it did run nicely). AIO takes care of it all for you.

I started off with nextcloud on bare metal on my Raspberry Pi and there was a lot that I could never configure quite right on the server side of things. Stuff like getting the right memory usage dialed in for the web server. I moved to NextCloudPi and it solved a lot of those problems for me. But it looks like the maintainer is not wanting to maintain it forever.

Someday, I will migrate to nextcloud AIO, but I'm not looking forward to the migration.

I am running the AIO and here it has the slowest webapp by a large margin, on desktop, laptop and phone
