Lost me at “run windows 11”
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
Fuck no
Windows 11 deserves to die in a dumpster fire.
Just windows in general
Win 11 is going to eat up so, so many resources on a low-power device like a Pi.
The pi 5 is a lot more powerful than you’d expect. At least when cooled properly.
I wouldn’t expect a great experience, but as the article says: Older games (like 10-15 years ago) and web games should work ok.
This is definitely more of a because you can, than a primary computing experience.
Seems like a pointless exercise.
If anything, it would be more interesting to run a full x86 emulator to install Windows 98 / Windows XP to run older games. There are games that work better on native Windows 98 than via compatibility mode on W10.
Wouldnt it be just better to run wine with a translation layer? Windows vm will just eat half of the resources
Mini PCs with a n100 or used office PCs are probably not that much more expensive and a much better alternative, if your goal is to run windows on them and you don’t already have the Raspberry Pi lying around.
