DietPi 9.0 Specialized Distribution Released for Use on ARM and RISC-V Single Board PCs such as Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, NanoPi, BananaPi, BeagleBone Black, Rock64, Rock Pi, Quartz64, Pine64, Asus Tinker, Odroid and VisionFive 2. The distribution is based on the Debian package base and is available in builds for more than 50 boards. DietPi can also be used to create compact environments for virtual machines and regular PCs based on the x86_64 architecture. Board builds are compact (average 130 MB) and take up less storage space compared to Raspberry Pi OS and Armbian.
The project is optimized for minimal resource consumption and develops several of its own utilities: interface for installing DietPi-Software applications, DietPi-Config configurator, DietPi-Backup backup system, DietPi-Ramlog temporary logging mechanism (rsyslog is also supported), interface for setting execution priorities DietPi-Services processes and the DietPi-Update update delivery system. The utilities provide a console-based user interface with whiptail-based menus and dialogs. The mode of full automation of the installation is supported, which allows installation on boards without user intervention.
In the new version:
- Support for builds based on Debian 10 has been discontinued and builds based on the Debian 11 and Debian 12 repositories have been updated.
- A new image has been generated for the Orange Pi Zero 3 board version with 1.5GB of RAM.
- Improved support for Raspberry Pi 5 board.
- Instead of free space on the drive, the screensaver displays the size of the drive and the space used as a percentage.
- Packages with the Moonlight game client have been added to builds based on Debian 12.
- Logitech Media Server has been returned to the lineup, which is now assembled from nightly builds rather than releases.
- The problem with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth not working on the Orange Pi 3B board due to the fact that some necessary kernel modules were unloaded has been resolved.
