Best small OS for Raspi and Purebasic?

[jamirokwai]

Hi there,

maybe I didn't use the right search terms. However, I hope you can help me!

I am building a small Audio / Video-player based on a Raspberry PI 4, the official 5" Touch-Display and HDMI-output. I will have a 32gb micro-sd and a 4tb usb-attached ssd.

I found the install-hints by mk-soft here (viewtopic.php?t=74875), thanks!

I was wondering, what you guys use as a minimal UI-based distro for Purebasic-Programs. My player needs to play Audio (ogg, flac, mp3 would be great) and Video (mp4, mkv), Internet is not necessary (but would be nice later on). I'd like to control the PI via network to compiler PB and to put files on and get files from it - for when the TV is off. The PI would run without mouse and keyboard.

Thanks a lot for your ideas!

It's best to use the original Raspberry OS. That's what works best (Debian 13 Arm64).
PB v6.30 will also be ready at some point, and the WebGadget will work again.

You don't need to connect a keyboard or monitor for programming.
You can also do it with ssh and X11. Much better than with VNC.

Here's a quick guide
