  • What OS for Zero WH?

    From F. W.@3:770/3 to All on Tue Mar 8 11:58:10 2022
    I got a Zero WH as a present. While I wait for my Mini-HDMI-Adapter,
    what OS do you use with this very small computer?

    I will try LibreELEC. Any experience?

    Not with that OS, but Raspbian Lite (or whatever it's called now) works
    well. The capabilities are similar to the earlier Raspberry Pi cards,
    and the Zero 2 is a substantial increase in computer power being 4-core.


    Okay, thank you

    to re-iterate what others have said
    unless you have a specific purpose in mind start with the official
    RaspberryPi os

    libreELEC, OSMC & others are aimed at more specific purposes
    the perform those tasks better that the default but are not so good when
    it comes to tasks outside their desired target.
