I was wondering when Wayland would drop on the AArch side of things, this looks extremely promising.
Fantastic video.

Thank you for sharing this information 👍

Does this has any effect on YouTube playback? On this new release I am seeing 500 dropped frames on a 17 minute 1080p video, but on (now) legacy Bullseye I am only seeing around 70 dropped frames for same video in Chromium...

Very cool that they switched to wayland. They finally solved the tearing situation. That being said, one thing is gpu opengl acceleration, that was always there on chromium/firefox. What isn't is media decoding acceleration. Rpi5 announcement was clear, it only decodes h265, and outside the browser so far. So, youtube will never be hw accelerated for media decoding since it uses h264, vp9 and av1, which aren't supported on rpi5 at all. They will always run on software decoding.
Other sbcs like the radxa zero 2 also does not have media dec acceleration due to lack of drivers, but they have the hw for doing so.

This thing is underrated. Probably the XFCE alternative for Wayland I was looking for, for years

The new Pi Os rocks and just highlights why you buy a Raspberry Pi, support
My first gen Pi4 now runs just over 100 MGHz higher, cooler and rock solid no random crashes...
My Pi3 B+ runs harder on cpu, gpu, core and mem .... The Pi3 B+is far quicker and far more usable although mousepad seems to have a problem starting up quickly, I found Pluma does not...
The Plank dock works 32 bit system on the Pi3 B+ but not on the Pi4 64 bit system ..
The one thing that is missing at the moment from the menu is the Themes option under Preferences... You can however install the KDE desktop and ever thing works great...

Well done Raspberry Pi Foundation....

Had loads of problems with Wayland and second monitor. Has got better but still lose controls, especially in Firefox. Maximizing the window fixes it but I often want it windowed.

Nice video thanks. I heard BookWorm changed the way you manage and run python projects, in that you have to do everything in virtual environments, or is that not true?

Can't wait for your Kodi and Ubuntu tests

I have an old Raspberry Pi 1 b+ (file server) and had already more than a month Devuan Pi with SysVinit (fork of Debian 12 Bookworm).

i'm curious if it can handle fedora silverblue. My RP4 got shelved when my sd card got corrupted it was running XBMC my issues was it can only output 4k 30. Now i'm running Minisforum UM250 ryzen 2500pro i used it mostly for movie streaming. I'm looking forward for RP5.

[KratomSyndicate]

so if you have a pi4 running on old OS there is no way to update but to download the new OS and reimage?

[galaxiegalaxie]

nice content, just curious, can i install android studio on raspeberry pi 4 or 5, does it support this? also another curiosity i saw your another video installing android os 13, and i want to know which very cheapeast 14 inch display touchscreen does it support since i will be using android os and i will be using touch screen😊 and let say my budget is 200-300 us dollar, can i get this stuff done within that budget

My Raspberry pi Bookworm OS keeps breaking. Every now and again it gets stuck in the auto login boot/command screen and won't boot to desktop?? One time I managed to get in but it defaulted to the Debian desktop. My GUI gets all screwed up like internet browsers go funky colors all loses the top part of the window.

[DrCRAZYde]

i am confused. My pi 400 lay on the shelf a long time. Now i test Bookworm. But, how i can change my themes on that?

_Translator:_
It's very poor that 1080p60 video doesn't run smoothly in 2023 👎

Personally I prefer using Xorg with no compositors because Wayland forces compositing which can increase overhead and increase input latency compared to using Xorg with no compositors (Xorg with no compositors faster than Wayland)

And I dont have to play games at Fullscreen when using Xorg with no compositors since im already using no compositors

I can't find any distro for Raspberries that Mission Center will produce graphs. I have been told Mission Center is written in Rust. MC claims it can't get GL context.

[tyjames]

is there a way to use tigerVNC with arm-based Macs

[indobleh]

The PI 5's are quick, really very good.
