General discussion • Re: Should I get a Raspberry Pi Pico or a Pi Zero?

It is "strongly" advised to use it headless ...
By you, maybe.

I run X on most of my Zeros. Works well enough.
Okay, thanks.
The Raspberry Pi Zero has only 512Mb of RAM, so I'd be worried about crushing that. What's your memory usage look like currently? My Pi 5 is basically idle right now, but using 560Mb, and my Pi 4 is at 417.

Code:

pi@pi51:~ $ free -h               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   availableMem:           7.9Gi       560Mi       6.6Gi        40Mi       888Mi       7.3GiSwap:          511Mi          0B       511Mi

Code:

pi@pi41:~ $ free -h               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   availableMem:           3.7Gi       417Mi       2.7Gi        32Mi       721Mi       3.3GiSwap:          511Mi          0B       511Mi
Granted the TeamViewer-Host service is hogging some of that, it looks like things related to xorg and GUI are largely contributing.

Note, I am not currently using any GUI applications on the host pi41 when taking that measurement. I have connected to it using SSH from another host.
