I ran into two problems when trying to switch to a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB as a desktop replacement in mid-2020:
- A noticeably laggy screen update when running urxvt. Any action which caused large amounts of text to scroll on the screen (e.g. a file listing or paging through a man page) would cause a bit of a visual stutter. I was running with with XFT fonts enabled, so maybe that was a contributing factor. Web page scrolling also seemed to lag a bit too if I recall correctly.
- Lack of gamma support for blue light filters such as redshift or f.lux
I'm crossing my fingers there are improvements to these areas in the future.
