On unrelated note this is pretty cool service, considering how much effort it takes to properly setup vnc server together with novnc and nginx in reverse proxy mode properly configured with LE TLS certificates, local firewall and a port forward on a router.
You're the only one talking about it... but I mean yeah used x86 boxes do tend to beat a pi at price, performance, and software compatibility, and only lose at power consumption (unreliably, at that) and physical size.
Not even that. The J4125 box I have runs circles around my Pi4, was only 40€, and has a lower power consumptions (though at those levels the difference is mostly meaningless) The size is a huge difference, but as they are both in the living room cupboard (the Pi4 now runs Proxmox Backup Server), that doesn’t really make a difference for my case.
(I would however separate out unique applications with the RPI Zero given the form factor)
Pi Connect doesn't work on the Zero 2 W though ;)
EDIT: I should have taken a minute to check the Pi OS release notes:
> Desktop now runs on the Wayfire Wayland compositing window manager on Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 platforms; on X11 using the openbox window manager on older platforms
Are they really?
