    snappy it feels versus the official rpi OS

    I blame the desktop manager. Once I ditched the default von on the pi, and replaced it with standard gnome, the pi became almost as snappy as my regular notebook.

    in general: standard debian should be exactly as light-weight as arch.

      Oh I misread what you wrote in the first paragraph. Yeah I actually did try that route too, installing Gnome on PI OS lite. I used this guide: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=276512

      It actually was pretty slow for me for some reason. I had some weird crashes and things too, so I abandoned that.

      Good to know. Yeah, I actually did try to install debian iirc but I didn’t have any luck.
