Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I had a rpi 400 using twister os and the keyboard seemed faulty, ie different keys the same. reported by others when I searched.
anyway I dug it out over the weekend and installed bookworm 64bit os and the keyboard works ok. Youtube playback is much better, over wifi. Just got to learn Linux

Depending on what you want to do ,
not that much Linux needed .
I would also try :
32bit vs 64bit Bookworm
Bullseye OS
Fyde OS
Different browsers ( Chromium , Firefox , Falkon , et . al . )
The beauty of the RPi is the ease of tweeking .
