Any suggestions on the best all-rounder OS? Is Raspberry Pi OS still the better option?
Its been so long since I ran this. Pi4, 8gb for reference.
heh, nice pic
Hmm.
Probably, since it is optimized for the rpi.
Seconded, also helps that the rpi-update and other utitilities for firmware updates/overclocking are already bundled and well supported.
For desktop use I would recommend Raspberry Pi OS too - if it is going to be for desktop use, I found that using the option to boot directly from an SSD (if available) gives it a bit of extra smoothness.
Nice case, can you tell us which one it is, please?
If I would use a Raspi as a desktop, I’d install Arch Linux ARM or Armbian on it, however Raspberry Pi OS is probably also a good choice.
the Flirc case for Raspberry Pi
Can’t recommend it enough!
Lucky you with that Pi4. I think the official OS will be the most comfortable for general desktop use. If possible, boot from SSD (never USB) because microSD cards can occasionally crap out.
Ah, I meant never boot from a USB flash drive. Obviously use the USB ports but SSD is the fastest, then microSD, then regular USB.
