Interesting raspberry Pi 5 daily driver experiment

(1/2) > >>

Hi

I read a very interesting article
http://jacobdesforges.com/rpi-5-daily-driver/

I was wondering if you could take 5-10 minutes to send me some more specific details to make an inexpensive daily-driver
raspberry pi 5 running tinycore linux which I can pair with
- a wired keyboard
- a wired mouse
- a headset with mic

I want it to have no ssd or nvme, instead it boots from a persistent tinycore usb into RAM running xfce or mate or another DE that you recommend.
This would be the highest quality lowest cost laptop replacement.

Specific components including manufacturer / specific-model with the full name/description (so there is no confusion) for me to find on google and steps so it is a no-brainer process that anyone can do and if you want I can post all this as a comment to the above article once we have completed the rapsberry pi 5 build and make sure it is a simple and comprehensive set of steps.

VERY IMPORTANT
--------
I need spefic steps to make a boot-from-usb-to-RAM

thanks

Juanito:
I’ve been using an RPi4 and recently an RPi5 as a desktop replacement for a couple of years now.

I don’t use usb boot, but other than that I use the standard piCore installation instructions.

truth:
Can you tell me all the components for whichever is better and cheaper (ie if the 4 performs perfectly the same as the 5 and you cant tell the difference then I will go with the 4)?

Do provide the exact full name for each part (that I can use to search on google) for the ultimate setup including the pi itself (no 4k required just 1080p).

Juanito:
The RPi5 is noticeably more responsive than the RPi4, but the RPi4 was still useable.

I'm using whatever components I had lying around:

Keyboard: Logitech K800
Mouse: Logitech MX Anywhere2S
Monitor: Dell U2720Q
Sound: Creative Gigaworks T40

truth:
So Pi 5 is the one.

Can you tell me how to do the usb boot with persistence on the usb (ie no hard drive or microSD).

thanks
