Picore 13 on Raspberry Pi 0 (armv6) w/ GUI

(1/1)

solarlnyx:
I made a video after seeing the only video on Youtube to boot TinyCore w/ FLWM on a PiZero was three years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE4cbIP5ieQ 

It runs much faster than any other OS on the Pi 0, with the exception of maybe RISC OS, which has a slightly awkward and outdated user interface.

The video shows a much lower latency and install time (15 minutes) than the Diet Pi, which took nearly an hour (or more) to get the GUI running:  (I made that video (4 actually) in early 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4_v_CW-WSc&list=PLKvMTg3KKwP3awRI0W6-OwX09Ij5LRnqZ&index=4

 This page has a lot of interesting research on latency: https://www.inkandswitch.com/slow-software/

A 2021 video shows a wifi install, and only a minute or so of the GUI running on the zero: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKvW59uk4PY&t=0s
 
My video has around 7 minutes of GUI navigation post the CLI install. I am not too savvy with installing lots of packages, so I don't plan to use it as a daily driver, but to test performance of OS and apps. It's nice to navigate and see how quickly programs run and open, even if they are just the control panel  ;D.
