Installed Raspberry Pi 5 OS (64-bit recommended system)

Note this is not a slim version, nor is it the full recommended software version, and it is not a 32-bit version

The system size is about 1.2GB

Desktop version interface

For the convenience of the desktop and testing desktop memory usage, I ultimately chose the desktop version

Only installed the desktop version, with no software running, memory usage is about 500M, which is manageable for 8GB of memory

Installed aapanel

The desktop + aapanel together occupy about 700M of memory

The expectation was to install armbian + pve, installing aapanel was just for convenience

However, for armbian

I tried the red box version, but aapanel reported an error during installation

The Raspberry Pi OS is based on Debian, so I switched to Raspberry Pi OS

Attempted to install PVE8

Installation successful, at this point the Raspberry Pi desktop OS + aapanel + pve occupies 2GB of memory (acceptable for 8GB)

CPU usage is 1-5%, which can be ignored

Compared to Orange Pi 5 Plus, the hardware configuration is inferior, and there is no price advantage

However, after using it, there are several advantages

• Size is still compact, credit card size, in comparison, the Orange Pi 5 Plus is too large

• Good community ecosystem, complete information, whether it is Raspberry Pi OS or armbian, or cases and fans, there are many options and references, from case installation to system flashing, there is basically no resistance

Having experienced the differences between the two boards, there is no need to choose one, both can coexist

Raspberry Pi is suitable for learning and development, various tests

Orange Pi, with the same ARM architecture and hardware cost-effectiveness, is suitable for deploying stable applications or leaning towards HarmonyOS

This test

• PVE can be installed on TF (timely backup)

• PVE can be installed on Raspberry Pi desktop OS

• PVE on Raspberry Pi does not need to consider big and small core heterogeneous calls (Orange Pi has big and small cores)

Initially chose Orange Pi because SSD can be directly connected

Raspberry Pi requires a separate SSD expansion board, and after installing the expansion board, it is very difficult to install both the case and the fan

Either have a fan and no case for SSD, or have a case and no fan for SSD, currently have not seen a reasonable solution on Taobao or elsewhere

Currently using a TF card with active cooling and a black case, with 8GB of memory
