(Tim here again) Yeah, the basics still hold regardless of the flavor of Linux you install. I reached for the default Raspbian image because it's what's most supported on the Raspberry Pi. However, any distribution that works on the RPi should be fine and fit within 8 to 10GB for the OS while still having plenty space for OS-related stuff. Then you'd need to take into consideration whatever space you need for your files/data. If your plan is to work with media, that might need tens or hundreds of GB for your files. If it's just a writing machine or a reading machine with just some documents, a 16GB drive might be more than plenty. -tim On 2024-01-25 18:19, Vojtech ??miro wrote: > Hello, > > but, unfortunatelly, in Raspbian there is no way to use Mate desktop and > Orca in the system is pretty old. > > Vojta. > > Dne 25. 01. 24 v 16:23 Tim Chase napsal(a): > >Tim here, responding in-line: > > > >>How much storage do I need? > > > >That's a bit like asking how long a piece of string you need.
