I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui’s and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet…

Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

I recently dipped my toe into Linux with a raspberry pi and couldn’t figure out why Firefox was so laggy. I thought maybe I did something wrong.

Try it in a vm if you don’t want to install it on bare metal (that isn’t a raspberry pi)

You can also find cheap ass second hand laptops on ebay for similar prices to pis but should have much better performance, especially if you’re willing to do some upgrades like installing a cheap ssd instead of the hdd.
