Thanks for insisting :wink: !

So I really needed to do that last step after updating the firmware: running " sudo raspi-config" and then boot ROM version → latest.

After that, the Manjaro 64 bit works from SSD :japanese_ogre:

Arch 32 bit also works! The thing was that I wasn’t doing the necessary stuff :man_facepalming:

Arch 64 bit doesn’t work. Manjaro still maintain the /boot/cmdline.txt file, but with Arch there’s no file, like Pudge has described before; there’s the boot.txt with a script that does… things.

That’s good! I have been looking at some cards to be used with my Pi:s so I came across this one.
I haven’t been using my RPi:s for a while but now I’m getting the itch again.

Oh yes, these are also nice ones. Thanks for sharing your experience with them!

Hope to see you and the rest in ARM soon again!

I’d go with @Shjim, not Samsung… but the margins are low. I’ve never had any bad experience with those cards:

…and been using them for years without any issues. Although, not on ARM (afaict) but in cameras (Panasonic and Canon) and China tv-boxes (Android).

Great, three new RPi 4b images were released yesterday, so you have plenty of choices to keep you busy.

ddimg-rpi-20230422
server-rpi-20230422

Here are the latest install instructions.

Sounds great!

Looks you guys have been busy too. Thanks @pudge for all the work on EnOS’ ARM. That goes for the rest of @ARM team as well.

You got that right! I have a system up and running: EndeavourOS ARM Xfce
It works graet!

There is an item in the app menu “Install System” but it launches
eos-welcome. Easy to remove it though…just a bit of nitpick :blush:

Great, glad you like it :muscle: and thanks for the feed back.

How does the OS response seem? Snappy enough? It is probably good enough for just tinkering around. For steady use, running off a USB SSD is noticeably snappier.

Pimoroni - Aluminium Heatsink Case for Raspberry Pi 4

What does neofetch (or other stats app) say the CPU is running at? With this heatsink you should be able to do 1.8 Ghz easily. In fact, if the RPi 4 Hardware version is high enough, it might be running at 1800 Khz already.

Thank you @Pudge for your reply!
I’ll be away from home for the next couple of days so I am afraid I won’t be able to “play” with the Pi.

I do actually have one of these heatsinks. They are quite good. When I’ll be back home I’ll provide you with some more info on my system Please tell me if there are other things you want me to look into or test.

Thanks again for all the great work and help!
