Unfortunately he decided to test both hardware and software. The comments pointed out that testing Linux on a pi was sandbagging it, but he responded he wanted to test the cheapest options. Apparently he will try Linux on an older workstation laptop he has, but I wish he’d done that from the start, as people may suspect Linux is buggy due to the ARM version of Reaper crashing.
Yeah, then he should have tried it on the cheapest version of Windows, at minimum. Saying your seeing if you can do it without Windows, and then trying Linux on the cheapest hardware it will run on is a really dumb comparison. He didn’t even go with the cheapest option, could have done an older pi with 4gb.
I guess being a competent musician doesn’t necessarily mean you are going to be good at appropriately labeling software videos, but for sure people aren’t getting a remotely decent understanding of what was being tested there unless they also were wondering if they could get decent performance off of a really cheap Linux box.
