Raspberry Pi 4
|
|
|
|
As soon as I heard the news about the Pi 4 release, I jumped on it. As a
|
|
frequent Pi user for day to day tasks, I'm always keen for a speed boost.

One major thing interests me about the Pi 4. The 4Gb of RAM model means that it
|
|
could be viable for running Gentoo. While Gentoo does _run_ fine on previous
|
|
models of the Pi, it hit's issues when updating.
|
|
|
|
Updating on Gentoo requires compiling from source and many software these days
|
|
need quite a bit of RAM to compile quickly (using all 4 cores).
|
|
|
|
I didn't have the money to buy the 4Gb version right away, so I opted for the
|
|
1Gb model.
|

|
This morning I completed the upgrade to Buster and aside from an issue with
|
|
[noobs](https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=212452) the upgrade
|
|
was smooth.

This blog post is the first composed and hosted on My Pi 4!
