I spent a few months doing much of my development on the 4 GiB Raspberry Pi 4 (gently overclocked). My experience was that of a slightly older notebook - totally fine for most things. The 4 GiB memory was hardly ever an issue, but the pathetic IO (storage and to some degree network) eventually drove me away. Thus, 8 GiB is a great option, but it makes it seem even less balanced now.
EDIT: I haste to add that having the full 64-bit Ubuntu 20.04 was what made this interesting to me.
- sylvain_kerkour 6y agoThank you! Talking about the IO, did you experience failure (lose of work) due to the unreliability of microSD?
- FullyFunctional 6y agoNo one sane uses the microSD for anything but the boot partition :) I used a fast USB key and contemplated using a true fast USB 3.1 SSD, but I really didn't like the bulk (the SSD would have been as big as the Pi). I never lost any data (but I also only accessed it remotely - it was head-less).
