DietPi
Since lockdown Les Pounder hasn’t moved much, and so the diet begins tomorrow. But today, he’s happy playing with this lightweight distro.
Les Pounder
IN BRIEF
A lightweight, Debian-based distro that eschews a graphical interface for a clever menu system. You can create devices for the Internet of Things, set up a home server, get retrogaming, consume media, boost home security… all from one simple Whiptail-based menu. Works with all models of Raspberry Pi and many other single board computers.
The Raspberry Pi OS, formerly Raspbian, is by no means full of bloat. Yet sometimes we don’t need all of the extra applications. Since lockdown we’ve all put on a little bloat and may need to go on a diet. And our Raspberry Pi can too, with DietPi.
