The following works: Starting with the LXQT image: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/15.0/appliances/openSUSE-Leap15.0-ARM-LXQT-raspberrypi3.aarch64-2018.07.02-Buildlp150.1.1.raw.xz After the first boot, I have a machine without network. I stop/disable NetworkManager and I can now make the wifi work. I then upgraded the kernel and rebooted - now I have ethernet and I can complete with a zypper patch. LXDE looks good, it's quite fast and responsive. With KDE, I also had sound working, that one I still have to work on.

KDE just seemed a little too "heavy" for the Raspi. LQXT seems quite snappy, and although the ethernet interface still isn't running, I managed to get the wifi up. Last night, I started a "zypper patch" which wanted to update/install some 658 packages. This was a bit of a pain - the wifi interface kept going up and down like a yoyo, sometimes loosing the default route.

So you end up with less packages. This machine has 1GB of RAM, so it will run out of memory anyway.

All the OMX and mmal is disabled on ARM64 https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L11 Try to compile omxplayer, ffmpeg with omx encoder and mmal decoder and vdr-plugin-rpihddevice for example. Slow is "if I just want to use the raspberry pi as a console server with screen and usbserial headless via ssh, then with openSUSE Leap or Tumbleweed, everything lags and feels slow" (and the machine is not really doing anything).

Ah, I was not aware. Well, the power supply says 5V/3400mA, it has multiple usb sockets at max 2400/socket, Looking at the power supply supplied by e.g. Conrad, they are also 2500mA. > Some shops sell 3.0 amps minimum, others swear by raising Vout to > 5.2V.

There is no openQA for armv7hl or armv6hl though, and build hardware for AArch32 is slowly getting sparse. > Apart from breaking most of the multimedia stuff and being dog slow compared > to raspbian? Don't compare apples to oranges: The Raspberry Pi guys did not upstream their cpufreq driver, so if you compare mainline 32-bit to 64-bit the observed difference should be fairly negligible. There was also a discussion on the opensuse-kernel list about our preemption config that can influence _perceived_ performance.

Otherwise mind your tone and feel free to contribute to making mainline Linux & openSUSE better.

You should know better. 32bit limits the address space to 4 GB. 1 is exclusive to the kernel, leaves 3 to userland. Subtract code and data, and mmapping anything larger than 2 GB fails. Also, building software on 32 bit archs gets quite hard for more and more packages, as the linker runs out of memory. So you end up with less packages.
