Any suggestions on the best all-rounder OS? Is Raspberry Pi OS still the better option?
Its been so long since I ran this. Pi4, 8gb for reference.
A few years ago I had success running Ubuntu MATE on my pi (PI 2 Model B), all I did was writing, browsing and some emulation gaming but it ran pretty well.
For desktop use I would recommend Raspberry Pi OS too - if it is going to be for desktop use, I found that using the option to boot directly from an SSD (if available) gives it a bit of extra smoothness.
Oh I remember that feature when it was ‘coming soon’, and never actually using it. Perfect opportunity to use it. Thanks for the reminder!
Nice case, can you tell us which one it is, please?
If I would use a Raspi as a desktop, I’d install Arch Linux ARM or Armbian on it, however Raspberry Pi OS is probably also a good choice.

Can’t recommend it enough!

Its strange, bought it when it came out (a couple months after maybe?) when stock was no issue.
But recently I saw those stock issues and yep, feeling lucky!
Have got a SSD for that, thanks!
