Arm install from Welcome

I will change to 7 or 6 later then… But we have to experiment to see how wired mouses react to this.

I had read that it puts some load on the CPU. I’ve read that just putting it can put a load of 7%, but it’s just a source that doesn’t explain how it reached this conclusion:

“There is a catch: the more polling Raspbian does, the more work the CPU has to do. I found setting the value to 8 gives me so much better responsivity that I’m happy to put up with the small increase of approximately seven per cent in CPU usage that I saw. I didn’t feel any need to poll more rapidly, but you may want it smoother. The choice is yours.”

So for wired mice I wouldn’t let this on.

I have the pi 400 booting from the ssd and i have Xfce Arm installed. The only way it works is to add the quirks mentioned above. It does work extremely well on micro sd cards. I think i could get it to boot off of usb jump drives also using the same method although the PID and VID numbers will be different on every stick. So far i haven’t got there yet but I’m satisfied with the ssd boot so i probably would just get a few more drives. This one is rather large at 480GB but i could get smaller ones. Anyway the installer works very well. It’s just a hardware issue with the Pi 400. Everything is updated on it. (Firmware EEprom)

Maybe another update will come out eventually for it. :man_shrugging: :crossed_fingers:

]Can you share your method in detail? Maybe write a [Tutorial/Tip] post on this issue?
