Great video, Lee. Greatly explained the new things on raspberry pi 5 and further updates. I was glad to see the web OS in this video. I still recall the old days where I used to watch yout TH-cam videos regarding Twister OS and Web OS. And, oh boy, web OS has changed quite alot. Performance is unaltered and the best for yt playback. And the good old case you used to boot up web OS, oh the nostalgia. Frankly speaking, they were the video of yours like that of Sparky Linux, MX Linux, Twister OS etc. that motivated me to create Crimson OS! Thank You, Lee!
Jeff Geerling has just posted a video on the 4 drive SATA HAT which I think is the same one that you mentioned. Does look like an interesting bit of kit.
I am surprised 4 drives are enough for our "Wacky Jeff". The last video of his I watched (some time ago), he was trying to connect about 59 hard drives to a Pi... sure, trolling for views on his channel but probably beyond the reach of most hobbyist Pi users eager for video content that shows them what they can do with a Pi in the "real world" outside of his lab.
I can appreciate the laptops but frankly I'm not going to hang the pi off of a laptop. a unified cable or harness and a box for the pi affixed to back of screen in some kind of enclosure, possibly one with a taper sides to the separate enclosure so it could all still slip into a bag w/o snagging on anything, including and especially any sort of cable harness. forward compatibility can be maintained that way with the main part of the laptop unit.
I see very little demand for a Pi laptop. Me personally, I've started to look at "cyberdeck" type devices where I can put a Pi (probably a Pi Zero 2) into a small case with battery, screen and keyboard, in a similar format to an old Blackberry device, maybe a bit bigger. I really can deal with touchscreens to do remote access work to Linux servers over SSH - or when I use terminal-based clients for email and such a device would definitely fill a niche for me.
Not sure if you know, but there appears to be a problem with the pimoroni nvem base affecting wifi...RF interference from the thin connector cable..maybe. Would be interesting to see it in an upcoming episode with workarounds or any fixes coming from the company etc. I have the base and the official heatsink fan and reverted to using my usb stick for now. Cheers
You'd think that CrowPi would cop on that people like the proper laptop for their Raspberry Pis... So many companies offer a screen, keyboard, battery device. No one wants to have to carry their Pi externally, they want it to fit in. Given how many CrowPi Ls that CrowPi sold you'd think they'd get it. Disappointed. They are not releasing a CrowPi L for the Pi 5
The market and demand is too small for most companies not to want to take a risk in investing a large amount of money to design and produce them, probably in very small numbers. The core issue is that Linux can run on anything as an operating system and used PC hardware is extremely cheap currently - as a result, you can go to a PC laptop refurbisher and pick up a used laptop with a year's warranty that's a lot more powerful than any Pi laptop could be, and is probably quite a bit cheaper.
Thought some of you might be interested to know that as of ARM64 build 26085.1, Windows Server 2025 with GUI is up and running on the Pi too. Very responsive and very stable with those latest UEFI files.
@@leepspvideo Replied to this earlier but response has vanished. Uupdump for the ARM64 specific version - you want Standard or Datacenter non-Core (it downloads the files in a legal manner, no activation hacking or anything questionable and builds the iso under Windows). Point WOR Flasher on Pi to the iso, manually overwrite the UEFI files in the wor-flasher-files with the 0.3 ones (just to be sure it has those), and install to microsd or usb3-SSD. Heard it wouldn't work from NVME drives but its fast even from microsd but installs much faster on SSD. 5-10 minutes.
I would love to get a Radxa Penta SATA hat (around 10:20) but these devices never seem to get to production. WireTrustee made something similar a couple of years back but also never made it to production. 😭😭
@@leepspvideohello sir,I have installed lineage OS 21 in raspberry pi 5, in which audio output there was hdmi,dac to choose. I am using iqaudio dac+ which was not in the list to choose because rest of the dac list was only for hifiberry So I am facing no sound issue.i have chosen one by one dac in the list but no sound.Is there any chance to add my dac in the configure text ? How to do that.
I am desperately looking for some piece of metal that could push the Pi switch with a button from a small distance. I tried DIY shops. I am scared to solder ditectly on the Pi board. Lego can't do the thing. Any idea?
It would have been very helpful if the switch had extended gpio type pins that you could connect an external switch to, (like POE) or even a connector like that for fan, uart or battery (but finding space for this would be difficult).
You can't buy it because the demand for it would be incredibly small - meaning small production runs that would just make it more expensive than simply going to a laptop refurbisher and picking up a cheaper but faster business class laptop instead. The "economics of Pi" no longer work when used PC hardware is so cheap.
Yeah but the package manager has compatibility problems.. @leepspvideo I wouldn't recommend void Linux on the pi atleast.. cuz some apps like pi apps, images and pi utility (pi configuration, vnc, etc) won't be supported with the lack of debian.
Gentoo is faster - because you can optimise Gentoo to a far greater depth than Void. Gentoo also doesn't use systemd by default either, and supports musl.
I think that the base idea of RPI laptops is flawed. People don't buy them to build laptops. If they need a low-priced laptop they'd rather buy a Chromebook. Much better UX and the battery life is out of comparison with this custom solution.
A Chromebook is simply you paying good money to have Google surveil you and suck all of your personal information from the machine - like Windows and MacOS, ChromeOS is the worst possible option for any person who has any concerns about privacy. In that regard, a Pi laptop running Linux is infinitely better than all three of them.
@@anispinner "You apparenly don't know how to degoogle yourself on your Chromebook? What are we even talking about then." You apparently rely far too much on your own poor instincts.

I don't care who Dimitris is anyway and have no intention of buying anything from him but you do realise that it's not illegal to sell Open Source software, don't you? The only requirement is to make the source code available for free if you sell compiled binaries. As for selling illegal ROMs, he's an adult, he makes decisions for himself and hopefully realises that he could face legal issues if someone looks into what he is doing. But that doesn't mean you need to "police" him for the benefit of the rest of us - because we're all adults too and can make our own decisions without you taking "the moral high ground".

You might be the first channel about raspberry pi which makes good videos on a regular basis. Thanks for you work and a sub to you!
Thanks Lee for the video update on the Raspberry Pi OS and others.
Have a great day!

I'd love to snap my Raspberry Pi 5 into a Crow/lapdock type of deal and it all just work with minimal fuss.

Why aren,t there a lot more OS,s for the PI5?I am thinking about Twister and Raspbian xp there were lots of interesting Os,s .on the pi4.
We have many more than all the other sbc’s combined

I’m somewhat baffled that I can’t buy a laptop for a Pi, that takes an internal CM4 module. Maybe one day with the future CM5?

The Dimitris guy takes open source software, bundles it up with illegal copies of ROMs and sells them. You shouldn't be promoting him.
