Poky vs Manjaro for Raspberry Pi 4 (RPI4) Model B (4GB RAM) Testing for real a HW Kernel Module (driver in Windows world) is I guess – hard, for some particular tests – impossible.

If your machine CPU has more cores – you can dedicate some to the virtual machine.Ĭons – It is NOT real Linux or whatever OS you run on it. Pros – We have several famous technologies around, quite fast, quite good, with speed close to the real one. In order to switch between both – you need to reboot. If your machine is weak in CPU and RAM – this is the better option – cause otherwise you will have to split the CPU and RAM between two simultaneously running OSes.Ĭons – You need dual boot bootloader on the HDD (which provides the OS choice upon HW start). Pros – when booting to Linux you have 100% control of HW, the environment is real, not emulated, it is a bit faster. Installing Manjaro was super-fast and easy. Why I had to choose? Because my test machine is not easily portable and sometimes I may have to work on my Laptop (HP ZBOOK 15 G5, Intel Core i7 Six-Core, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD).
