I have the ICE tower with mad LEDs! 'cos I'm a little boy inside. Stable 33% overclock, I'm typing to you from it now. :D $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/c

Do you use it as your desktop machine? This is fascinating
- esotericn 7y ago
  Yes. I run Arch on it. Firefox, youtube, etc are full speed and very usable. I do have an x86 laptop which I use on the go, and a server that I SSH in to for heavy loading like compilation etc.

    Does Arch fix screen tearing? The Pi4 Raspian desktop has a strong problem with that.

      Running Wayland would probably do the trick.

Same with the ICE tower and 2GHz overclock. Even with stress tests I can't get the Pi to break 50 C. I don't use mine as a desktop yet, though. I just run 8 Docker containers for stuff like DNS, Time Machine backup, etc. The goofy-looking Pi: https://www.ericlagergren.com/share/d9htGfiETJHN3ua https://www.ericlagergren.com/share/d9htGfiETJHN3ua

  Hehe. Yours is a little cutie too! I've just borked my install trying to migrate to aarch64 from armv7h. Currently rescuing it (I hope) with a chroot. Fun! :D edit: all sorted! aarch64 kernel compiled; migrated the userland over from armv7h (I've been using 32-bit for a few months) - no issues so far! whee!

    Good luck! I'd like to hear how Arch works out for you. I used to use Arch before I switched to macOS. If I ever get around to using a Pi as a desktop, Arch will definitely my first choice.

      GP is not talking about the Arch Linux distro, but rather switching to using a distro compiled for the 64 bit ARMv8 ISA. It’s not a completely accurate comparison, but a fair analogy is armv7h is to aarch64 as i386 is to x86_64.

        I was in fact talking about Arch (though the 'unofficial' ARM port; https://archlinuxarm.org https://archlinuxarm.org) Though I believe barsonme picked that up from my other post below.

        Heh! My bad then. Was going off the post replied too and assumed (this is what I get for assuming!) they wrongly read aarch64 as Arch.
