- Leepspvideo KDE Plasma built 4 is almost as comfortable to use as Ubuntu 24.04.
- It runs on the Raspberry Pi 4 which is available.
- In contrast to a community for the Pinephone who works for instance on the development of office applications.
- Also the Pinephone keyboard is unavailable.
- But the Raspberry Pi 4 is power hungry.
- If this is a problem for you, choose a Raspberry Pi zero 2 w with Raspberry Pi OS:
- The Raspberry Zero 2 W reaches maximum Performance mit DietPi:
For those wo do not speak German translate the following written transcript with Google Translate:
- U-Labs from Germany compared Raspberry PiOS to DietPi
- He says DietPi is better than Raspberry Pi OS
- at least for the zero 2 w
- DietPi is based on Raspberry Pi OS
You can add only the components you need to save RAM with the zero 2 w.
- Most of the components of the Pinephone can also be built from the Pi 4 or the zero 2 w.
- If we start with Leepspvideo KDE plasma built 4 and a Pi 4 we have a device which is easy to use.
- We have a big device which is power hungry but cannot compete with the Pinephone.
- But with that the Raspberry Pi is easy to start with.
- And we can than later on move on to the Raspberry Pi zero 2 w.
- With DietPy we can get the max out of the zero 2 w.
For us personally the Raspberry Pi platform has become more interesting than the Pinephone. It offers much more soft- and hardware options.
