What I learned from using a Raspberry Pi 5 as my main computer for two weeks
- aimonster2 3y agoSee, now, the Orange Pi 5 works marvelously with the correct installation, and also handles up to 13B LLMs at the right quantization real well.
- ShakataGaNai 3y agoMuch of this article is simply "I don't know Linux" and basically in no way reflects the Raspberry Pi itself. Clearly, the author doesn't know much about the ecosystem either; they suggest running a cheap intel machine because then you can run Windows... even though you can run Windows on a Raspberry Pi as well [1]. Not that I don't disagree with their general end sentiment, that you can often get a whole lot more, for relatively little extra cost. The author seemed to think that "Raspberry Pi = Easy" then promptly ran into early adopter pain combined with a general lack of knowledge. I'd like to see someone repeat this experiment, that was actually understanding of what they were getting into. Anyone with half a tick knowledge of RPI knows that it's not an amazing desktop machine, it's not supposed to be. It's a good "desktop" when you're in an environment that lacks significant technology access, infrastructure, and most importantly...power.
