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

Raspberry PIs don't have a proper GPU with decoding. That's part of why they stink. The other issue is that they are locked to the Raspberry Pi kernel. They are absolutely proprietary!

So something like a Banana Pi wouldn't have this issue?

To be honest with you I don't know what chip the Banana pi has so I don't know. It just annoys me that RPi is a Broadcom device

Tried to get tons of distros working on my pi5 last week. It sucked. Then I found out that I need some special kernel.

But I thought it's just about things that aren't merged into the mainline kernel yet?

It can't ever be merged (Broadcom)
