I can't find a Raspberry Pi 4 in stock so I want to get an used Thinclient like pic.
This model: support.hp.com
I will cost me only 30 euro, will this perform better than the Pi 4?
CPU: AMD GX-217GA Dual-Core APU with AMD Radeon HD 8280E graphics (1.65 GHz)
System memory: 4 GB DDR3L 1600 MHz standard
Bonus question: What's the best terminal-only Linux distro I can put? Thinking of CentOS since I'm familiar with Red Hat from work.
>will this perform better than the Pi 4?
Going by some simple benchmarks, they're both slow as balls.
I seriously hope you don't expect buttery smooth interaction with that shit heap
>perform
Performance is relative. At SoC garbage scale nothing performs well.
Lower your expectations and you'll be happier with your purchase.
If you're willing to drop $500 you might as well buy an i5 mainboard from the framework laptop marketplace and use it to build one of those keyboard-only computers
Similar performance to the Pi for CPU tasks, much faster GPU, better r/w speeds with the mSATA SSD in the thin client compared to the SD card on the Pi.
Man I just one to run Pi Hole and a basic NFS server.
I'm running today on a Pi2 700Mhz and it is fine, but I'm starting to get some alerts "Long-term load (15min avg) larger than number of processors: 1.1 > 1".
I wanted to upgrade to Pi 4 but this Thin Client is probably an OK alternative right?
>Pi Hole
placebo. Ran one. Totally useless. Better spent setting up your own DNS that mirrors root.
>NFS
and be limited to realistically one drive? Your life senpai. I hoard so that doesn't work for me.
by the way, what you're looking for is called a "server"
A thin client is like a Chromebook or a smartphone or some useless shit like that. It's something you carry around with you.
Pi Hole works fine for me.
>NFS
Yes, the main use is to store my emulator save games so I can have my own "cloud" and play from my PC, laptop and steam deck. So I don't need much space and I'm not a hoarder.
Then it's a great choice. $30 well spent.
Just checking to make sure you knew the limitations.
