Thank you for all the videos using the OPi5!! I should be receiving mine in a week or two, can't wait.

[@gordslater]

4:03 generally all of the installable packages work with all hardware, as they are simply Debian/Armbian packages, regardless of the package name including "Pi" or not. There may be the odd specific Raspberry Pi - specific config package and of course there may be some hardware requirements for example minimum RAM requirements My main beef with DietPi is that they dropped support for all OrangePi devices back in the day due to some developer spat. As a admin of over one thousand deployed OrangePi Zero devices, that kinda p'eed me off bigtime. Glad to see they are once again supporting at least one Orange device.

[@philmordecai]

My go-to distro for all my headless Pi units. Runs well and the forum support is also really good. Had an issue with an update appearing to lunch the web server back end for my Nextcloud installation and the guys behind this patiently worked through with me until I was back up and running. It took a good few days, but that was all due to my availability, not theirs.

[@sylvainHZT]

DietPi is my favorite distro for raspberry ! I've got a Rpi3 running H24 since 3 years with dietpi. Love it !

[@Razor_Burn]

Great tutorial Lee as it looks really slick yet full of options so I might give it a go. Cheers!

[@System64-Fumo]

I feel like lee forgot about this but since we're on the topic of optimized distros Darling OS! It got updated. And according to Botspot: "I have never seen Chromium graphical performance this good. This is better than 64-bit and all the GL+Vulkan tricks I've ever tried on PiOS. I now see why many people say wayland is the future." I would suggest you give it a shot on a pi4 since that's supported now The focus is still on the pi 02 You could if you really want try to get this on another board by simply copying the boot partition files from another OEM's distro to darling os's boot partition and copying over the kernel modules in /usr/lib/modules/* to darling os's modules folder In theory it should "work"

[@gorgo75]

for audio create a non root user and start pulseaudio with the non root user.

[@leepspvideo]

Thanks that worked for XFCE. I tried various fixes to get it to work without a gui. I’ll wait for some updates and try again

[@euphanasia210]

Beat me to it, yes there’s a command to run without root, but it has to be run each time, much better to just create the other user.

[@euphanasia210]

It was super annoying when I dealt with the audio issue back in 2020. DietPi is a sharp OS, I have a few setups with it, I like the disable logging feature.

[@akzeone]

Very interesting 😃 now i'm abroad but i'm very excited to try pimiga on my rpi4 next week when i come back home. Plenty of OS to try on those SBC. Lot of fun 😄

[@roberts.3712]

Armbian all the way.

[@rmcdudmk212]

The more distros and community support boards like the Orange PI 5 get the more attractive they become 👍

[@GustavoMsTrashCan]

You can always resort to a armbian minimal build instead -- which requires the user to be a bit more "fancy", but still doable. I mean, all you have to do is to type 2 ~ 4 more commands instead of your usual "premade" distro build.

[@Kw1161]

Th anks for more information great video. I can see it would be good on the Pi-Zero or Pico Pi SBC's . Have a nice day.

[@srvuk]

I ran this on an X86 box and it ran quite well for what it is. Another distro to add to the list for testing. There is also a new Android TV 12 download from Orange Pi, although from testing so far, it is nothing particularly special, as well as updated Ubuntu and Debian releases.

[@TheEricDangerous]

It is to be hoped that Shenzhen XiaoTuDou Technology has learned from its mistakes of getting into trouble with the Dietpi developers, which led them to abandon the Orange platform as a whole in the past.

[@kattz753]

I went to the Orange Pi site a few minutes ago. Guess what I found? An announcement for the Orange Pi 5B with WifI 6, BT and BLE. I did a Google search but found absolutely nothing else anywhere. There is no release date. If they have the same deal for pre-orders, I'm getting another one, possibly with more RAM.

[@rrolo1]

I found it weird about asking you for installing ALSA stuff when even using xfce was harping it about pulseaudio not being avaliable. Without no device on my own, my first guess would be installing pavucontrol after unistalling ALSA. Of course, your mileage may vary, but I did a similar thing with Rasberry PI 4 in the times they were still using ALSA and it was giving some issues ... OTOH I have no way of knowing them using some kind of homebrew drivers ( nothing unusual ), but Debian stable ( or even sid, if you're feeling adventurous ) is more often than not a decent shot ...

[@r0galik]

You don't need to press Tab... Just use arrows. Also, these sound streaming things are designed to be services. What is the point of using them on the device itself, especially since you already knew that sound wasn't working?

[@AaronBond007]

Thanks for the videos Lee.... do you know how compatible is the Orange Pi 800 with the 5?

[@igorpecovnik]

Not at all.

[@leepspvideo]

Different hardware unfortunately not compatible with Orange Pi 5 images

[@AaronBond007]

@@leepspvideo Thanks, that's what I was thinking...

[@emanuelcalderon]

Blue tooth and wifi is supported on the orange 5 pi.

[@leepspvideo]

With the optional m.2 adapter

[@Tonyplat98]

@@leepspvideo Apparently they came out with the Pi 5B now they ditched the m.2 for wifi+bluetooth module and called it the Pi 5B

[@godofbiscuitssf]

Do you think there's enough "there" there with DietPi to use it as a host for Docker containers? I want to use a Pi just to run Docker containers. A couple or 3 lightweight ones all the time and maybe a heavier one transiently/on-demand. I've been watching a bunch of videos -- been subscribed to your channel for a LONG LONG time, in fact you were the one where I first learned about Docker and running it on Pi.

[@leepspvideo]

I still haven’t tried Docker. I have it on my list

[@Darktron]

What linux distro have you found to be the best for these orange pi 5. I have a orange pi 5b and so far I'm looking for the fastest cpu clocks kernels

[@Doortodoorgeek]

can you install pavucontrol ?

[@lee99bay]

🙋

[@Tonyplat98]

Did you get it to work? Very curious about this one. They're coming out with the Orange PI 5B now. Apparently they removed the M.2 extension slot and replaced that with wifi+bluetooth module.

[@leepspvideo]

Got the audio to work in the desktop environment with help from the comments. It didn’t work with airplay. I didn’t try for a long time

[@fk_tech]

Please try Manjaro Minimal image which uses kernel6.1

[@leepspvideo]

Have you found an Orange Pi 5 version?

[@trichert7360]

As "Highly optimised" can you provide glxinfo -B ? What are gmark2 /es2/wayland benchmarks scores ? I tried this Diet pi on orange pi 5 week ago and it was total garbage.

Hi can you try orange pi 5 use obs studio with camera.

[@NgocPhamVN96]

Does it work on Orange Pi PC plus? I just want to run 1 application only

This version won’t. See on their website if they have a version for your board
