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

Some tips:

  1. Rasberry pi OS is the lightest OS on pi
  2. Use Falkon as a browser, it’s much lighter
  3. Use mpv (or celluloid for simplicity) to watch YouTube videos and something like ytfzf (tui) or plasmatube (gui) for browsing YouTube

Also gnome is a desktop environment not a distro

My bad. Only slept 3 hours trying to get things to work last night. And 6 before that.

I had already resigned to just getting an Intel n100 mini PC for my purposes, but I might take another crack at it with your recommendations in the future, after I get some rest and stop dreaming of pies in the sky.

Except Raspberry OS. It’s still a bit sluggish for me. Manjaro KDE has been the fastest so far.

Also if you use Firefox make sure to use h264ify for hardware acceleration on YouTube

That I noticed that Raspberry Pi OS had as well built in.

Does Falkon need it since it’s Chromium based? How well will Falkon fare against ads with Manifest V3?
