- And the reason is that the zero 2 w has only 512 MB Ram which is very limiting.
- DietPi uses less Ram than the Raspberry Pi OS:
- I suggest the following procedure:
- Install DietPi on the Raspberry Pi zero 2 w.
- Install LibreOffice on the Raspberry Pi zero 2 w.
Kajidataonline from Malaysia shows in the above video only that he managed to install LibreOffice but not how it starts up. This lets me hoping the best but expecting the worth tha he did not manage to start LibreOffice up because of insufficient Ram on his Raspberry Pi zero.
With DietPi this should be better since it uses lesser Ram.
- If it works and can be executed, it’s fine.
- Else test also zRam:
If it works, a problem I have since years with the Pinephone would be solved. The zero 2 w is small and uses little power. We can furthermore choose a screen which is enough big so that LibreOffice is usable. This requires about 7 inch.
