I’m actually looking forward to trying the new @Raspberry_Pi desktop based on @debian Bookworm.

I’ve never run a desktop on my Pis, I run them all headless, but I’m curious what the performance is like now with Wayland and Pipewire (both things I run on my actual desktop/laptop).

I’ve got a Pi4 in an Argon One with m.2 SSD just waiting to try it.

First test will be 4K Netflix/Disney+ in @firefox thanks to that Widevine availability 👌

    @Raspberry_Pi @debian @firefox Pipewire is a particularly great one for anyone who likes to listen to music with Bluetooth headphones that support high-quality codecs; Pipewire blows away Pulseaudio here both in codec accessibility and connectivity/re-connectivity.

    Usability should be *chef’s kiss*

    Another great thing with Bookworm is LXD/LXC without snaps :) Native packages on the repository.

      @TCB13 oh good! I hate snaps. It’s the first thing I remove on any Ubuntu machine.

        yeah me too, but until now the only way to get LXD on Debian was with snaps. Now its native!!

          @TCB13 It was insanity that it was restricted to snaps in the first place.

          Very happy about having native lxc/lxd back.

            I followed the port of LXD for Debian and it wasn’t a trivial job, (you know, Canonical and all) it almost didn’t made it into Bookworm. LXC was previously available on the repositories but not LXD.
