[arch-general] I am thinking of buying Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB with 7 or 10 inch touch screen display in June 2021
Subject: I am thinking of buying Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB with 7 or 10 inch touch screen display in June 2021 Good day from Singapore, I am thinking of buying Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB with 7 or 10 inch touch screen display in June 2021. Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 8GB (Latest) - Price SGD$120 https://sg.cytron.io/c-raspberry-pi/c-raspberry-pi-main-board/c-raspberry-pi... Raspberry Pi 7 Inch Touch Screen Display With SmartiPi Case - Price SGD$147 https://sg.cytron.io/c-raspberry-pi/c-raspberry-pi-display/c-display-for-rpi... Do you think it is a good match? I want to use my Raspberry Pi like a regular laptop or desktop computer. Would a 7 inch touch screen display be too small for my use case? I don't want to strain my eyes looking at a small display. However, if I get a 10 inch touch screen display, I can't find one with a supporting base. I can't find a 10 inch touch screen display with a supporting base which could allow the screen to stand vertically. Finally, does your Linux distribution support Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8 GB? Can I do 4K Ultra HD video editing on the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8 GB? Like adding watermarks, and cutting away unwanted 4K scenes. Is there a good 4K video editing software for Linux? I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much. Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming, 43 years old as of 9th May 2021, is a TARGETED INDIVIDUAL living in Singapore.

Hi, a $147.14 cheap, 7 inch small screen is a very good solution for editing 4k videos, just for optimal 4k editing experience get a way cheaper and way smaller display.

According to Ralf Mardorf:
Unfortunately "You may not want to use Arch, if: you require support for an architecture other than x86_64."
But ArchLinuxARM[1] supports this machine quite well, and although it doesn't include everything available in x86_64 Arch Linux, it does include probably >99% of the available packages. I use it here on my primary machine, which is an Odroid N2, something a little harder to find than a Raspberry Pi 4, but it only has 4GB of RAM, and costs a bit more. It does have 6 processor cores instead of 4, and the eMMC support makes it run a good deal faster as well. [1]: https://archlinuxarm.org/ ~Kyle
But ArchLinuxARM[1] supports this machine quite well, arch arm is a separate project, so this mailing list doesn't really have anything to do with it.
but the arch-ports[1] mailing list might be the correct place to ask this [1]https://lists.archlinux.org/listinfo/arch-ports
