Vanilla Arch is know for its simplicity and extremely lightweight distro, basically you are building you own system,

Installation will be fun, people often say they reinstalled many times, but i have installed it only once still using it,

You can customize it however you want, this is the only distro welcomes you with an terminal

The only thing I hate is it leaves back the config files and folders after you remove the package 😑

If you wanna give it try, then these steps might help you,
Iso will be somewhere around 700mb, and installation will be like 1gb or so.

But, is it really different from Ubuntu mini / server? Is it more stable / updated?

Yes it is different from ubuntu mini,

I've never used any servers, bcz it's an bleeding edge, but people won't suggest Arch Linux on server, bcz the libraries very much often refresh and update almost a day, so sometimes some projects might get issues, so they often stick with centOs or ubuntuLTS or etc,

But arch is stable until unless we mess it up by downloading whatever stuff from unauthorised sites.
