I’m not sure I understand the point, because Debian supports N100 PCs natively, too. Or is a custom DE the advantage?
- heresie-dabord 2y ago> Or is a custom DE the advantage Yes, as a learning-first (teaching) platform, the custom DE is an advantage. But further, the R.Pi does not need to be an over-sized solution or lead a benchmark with a top score. It just needs to be fast enough for learning and hacking with GPIO. A computer doesn't need to have a gigahertz burst mode just to run an efficient little OS for coding. As for Wayland, it only recently became the default WM. But it is nice to have.
