      I just can't imagine using a RP4 for a desktop. Seems like you would spend too much time waiting for things to load and get frustrated. I have spent some time on the one my son has. No way I could do it. Not saying it isn't possible. Just not for me. Do you deploy RP4 for "power users"?

      Also, does the micro SD wear out faster from continued read/writes?

      I have an RPI4 4GB and it's way to slow for me as well. I revisited a couple of weeks ago and put the latest Raspberry Pi OS on it. For kids and casual users it's workable.

      The biggest problem for me though is that you can't get the full linux experience on it. It wont run regular ARM OS like debian, ubuntu, you name it. It needs custom compiled kernels, binary blobs and special tweaks.

        Not at all, it's perfectly fast. I find it a very comfortable desktop experience.

          haven't yet, but will be. There's no noticeable speed difference in usage for IT workers. Wouldn't deploy it for people doing like video editing or something like that. But IT doesn't do that stuff, everything we do in IT we can't tell a speed difference.

            Of course, that's why you use a high speed SSD like you would for any desktop, of course you don't use the SD card for your storage, lol. That wouldn't work well.

              I’m pretty certain with the rPi4, you can used conventional SSD and even M.2 drives over the mSD.

              SSD yes, M2 no. Rock Pi and Pine64 Pro have the M2 interface as their killer feature.

                Have you updated the firmware? The speed is totally different between out of the box and flashed.

                  What the heck are you guys doing? We've run multiple OSes on it, Ubuntu for sure. Raspberry Pi OS (Debian) works best, IMHO, but Ubuntu ARM had zero issues when we use it.

                    Mine hasn't needed that. All straight from the vendor "just works."

                      Ah - Thank you for the correction.
