Yessir, the only thing that ever tripped up an RPi 4 (1gb) was that Ubuntu
Mate install.. and yer right, it was the chromium instance... it was actually
chugging along, mostly ok, with just Mate going...

Doesn't really matter, I was just playing with that Ubuntu Mate install -
because you can... but the 8gb can slice thru it with no issues. I'm just
amazed at these boxes. They are very nice now a days.

I run a FreeBSD RPi, and its an OS that I wouldn't really have had any
experience with... so for a $75 (or less) machine be the vehicle for
learning; thats awesome.
