 @km @c721880c I generally overclock my raspberry pi 4 to 2GHZ and the GPU to 750 MHZ for a smoother web browsering experience... I use my Pi4 as a second screen and a media center... beyond 2GHZ my RPI 4 which is an older model from 2018 becomes quite unstable... Because of that it easily overheats in its case without a heat sink and a tiny fan... I generally provide it with a 5 volt 3 amp supply... basically a fast charger. But not all fast chargers work and for many Pi complains undervoltage. 
 @km @c721880c Pi 4 can do 1080p at 30 fps but it cannot do 1080p at 60 fps... I generally keep it at 720p at 60 fps.

I tried Raspberry Pi with Manjaro once, that was awful

headless servers work fine 
 @km @e1b28ac6 ah man, the shop talk 
 @km @c721880c For desktop use Raspberry OS is the most optimized and best in my experience... not even Ubuntu .. Manjaro I tried it was straight awful as most of the apps in AUR are for x86_64 CPU. 
 @km @c721880c But the biggest issue with Raspberry OS is that it won't get the updated Debian base until several months... last time it remained stuck to Debian 10 for several months until finally it updated to Debian 11 base... Same now in the case of Debian 12. It won't be officially updated for some time. 
 @e1b28ac6 @c721880c 
this gives you Debian 12
