I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...
Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

I blame the modern web for this
Remember when if your aunt wanted you to build her a computer that she'd only use for "web browsing", that meant you could opt for the cheap components?
I fully agree with the author but I was shocked when I saw iPhone 6S. Things were bad even back then?
back then
Fuck am I old??
where does it mention iphones on that page? am I just blind?

Things haven't been the same since web 1.0 came out
But they should. Or at least comparable.
Think about the difference between Reddit and Lemmy. They both offer similar functionality, but Reddit will set your phone on fire if it gets the chance.
The same is true for YouTube. Browsing YouTube is scrolling through an image gallery, only video playback should be a problem. Yet, it will consume more resources than a well equipped laptop had when YouTube was launched. That's insane.
We're moving in a direction where computers get faster and faster, but for the last 10 years or so, the actual utility of the system as a whole stagnated. Besides games, what can a modern computer do, that a 2014 model couldn't?
You think it's bad now? Wait until ChatGPT is the one coding things.
Modern hardware allows for bloat, and so bloat is made. Add in a huge helping of tracking everything you do, and you get a shit pi.
Now repeat but also mess up the code some more.
Behold: the true Web 3.0
You think it’s bad now? Wait until ChatGPT is the one coding things.
I mean AI code is getting banned from tons of open source projects. I don't expect a huge AI programming boom, except for proprietary software that I won't use on my personal systems anyways
It isn't a a web problem. The experience is the same for any video playback on a RPI
Yeah, it's amazing how upvoted the previous comment is. Just a bunch of idiots jumping on the web-hate bandwagon when even basic media players like Kodi have a tough time playing back video on the Pi.
It just isn't a very optimized device for video playback. The Pi 5 is actually a step backwards as well, providing only H265 hardware video decode which the web doesn't even use.
It's weird to me hearing people say the Pi isn't great for video playback when the SoC isn't that dissimilar from what's in a Roku box.
