- we found an optimized Darling OS
- we found overclockers
- we found SSD solutions
- but is it worth it to do all these things?
- it is nice to have a lot of testers and optimizers for Raspberry Pi zero w2, but none of the solutions could convince us even to try, exept for the solution of the experienced Raspberry Pi reviewer
leepspvideo to use instead of the Raspberri Pi OS bullseye the previous buster version - leepspvideo seems to experience in tuning raspberry pi’s, many information can be found on his YouTube channel about this
- but neither DarlingOS which seems to be given up could convince us
- nor DietPy which is a command line tool could convince us.
- nor Raspberry PiOs lite could convince us which is a headless OS, since we want a display a keyboard and a mouse and a standalone device
- but it is impressive how much information is available, how many testers and how many options, which all seem the be tested already with the Raspberry Pi zero 2 w.
An issue with the Raspberry Pi zero w 2 is that there are a lot of people testing things with this device which we would not test due to lack of time. And even if we had the time we would not do all these tests. The problem is to find the relevant tests for this device.
- is this because the device was first sold for 15 USD, currently the price is much higher. But 15 USD seem to be a price a lot of people could afford to test the device, and we are very happy about that.
We are physiologists, and not device testers. There a lot of instructions how to overclock it. But is it worth for our 24 * 7 application? Has someone data about the effect of overclocking to the live time of these devices?
