Do you have audio in general? if not, this might help you, specifically the sound section: <https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi3> I don't have speakup setup right now on either of my rpi units, so can't test this for you. > It's been 2 or 3 years since I installed speakup on a > Raspberry Pi and I seem to remember a certain download of speakup > that works especially well but I don't remember exactly how I got > it which is why I am asking the list. The only thing that comes to mind is a tutorial written way back by Mike Ray which describes on how to get speech from the rpi sound hardware in both the text console and the GUI. My understanding is that this isn't an issue anymore, but I could be wrong. I did a quick search to see if I could find that, but had no luck. > > When I was running stretch on these Pi's, I got pretty > much the same performance one gets from a full-sized desktop > system so I want to not lose that capability now. Thanks. Again, you don't mention the model of rpi you're using. However, I'm curious what you do for web browsing on the rpi? I wanted to find out when I first got my rpi3b unit a few years ago now if it could replace my laptop. I found that it mostly could, but that firefox was laggy enough and the software speech unresponsive enough when loading a particularly resource heavy page that serious web browsing couldn't be done. The rpi4 units with 8G of ram could probably handle it now though. I also recall Chris Brannon mentioned using an rpi on this list as a thin client. However, what you said above seems to imply use as a stand alone unit.
