I have an old Windows mini PC, which is based on a single core Atom CPU. Clicking the Settings button will take multiple seconds to launch the Settings app. I wonder if Windows on the RPi will fare better.

A RPi4 with a external ssd (usb) would probably be better. A RPi5 with 8GB would be for shure much better.

RPi4 has up to 8 GB RAM. I think any RPi with anything better than one 32-bit LPDDR4 memory channel would fare better... at everything. I'd like to see at least a 64 bit wide memory channel if nothing else.

Arch running Sway would be awesome

Have Fun ;)

Sway works:

I already run Sway on an old laptop. It is faster than my modern Windows gaming PC for most tasks and apps.

Yes it's definitly snappy'er than X11 but i had some problems with hanging/blank windows last time i use'd it.

Yeah, had some issues too but everything seems resolved in the latest 1.5 update.
