I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

Some tips:

  1. Rasberry pi OS is the lightest OS on pi
  2. Use Falkon as a browser, it’s much lighter
  3. Use mpv (or celluloid for simplicity) to watch YouTube videos and something like ytfzf (tui) or plasmatube (gui) for browsing YouTube

Also gnome is a desktop environment not a distro

My bad. Only slept 3 hours trying to get things to work last night. And 6 before that.

I had already resigned to just getting an Intel n100 mini PC for my purposes, but I might take another crack at it with your recommendations in the future, after I get some rest and stop dreaming of pies in the sky.

Except Raspberry OS. It's still a bit sluggish for me. Manjaro KDE has been the fastest so far.

Also if you use Firefox make sure to use h264ify for hardware acceleration on YouTube

That I noticed that Raspberry Pi OS had as well built in.

Does Falkon need it since it's Chromium based? How well will Falkon fare against ads with Manifest V3?

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Falkon just uses Chromiums web engine and strips everything else, they don't use Manifest V3 as they have their own extension system (although that isn't really mature). It comes with a built in adblocker that works fine for browsing, but youtube ads can't be blocked. I recommend Falkon for web browsing, but I wouldn't use it if all you want to do is watch youtube I would use a browser that supports h264ify. For browsers that do use chromiums web extension api there is a version of h264ify, which you will need for hardware acceleration.
