"Lite" - no, definitely not.

However setting things like a static IP on 'lite', no
gui tools, IS a royal pain in the ass. I provided some
networkmanager templates and instructions in this group
for making all that much faster and less painful.

However the next step, "Desktop", DOES have the goodies,
though you have to manually install AND run as root
(AND there's LOT of "junk" co-installed)

You can use "raspi-config" to set X11 or Wayland.

Didn't solve MY issue - which was HARDWARE SPECIFIC -
ie something worked perfectly on a Pi3, but not a
Pi4 - but I found a work-around (eventually).

Well that's an apt description of most politician...The problem is how
to take back control from them. So that I can do what's best for me, not
what some left wing academic sitting in an ivory tower thinks is best
for me.

And what's the power (watts :-}) difference I wonder?

Incidentally, freebsd is pretty reliable - I've had it run for 9 months
solid or more in the past; currently at 3. I've no feeling for how
reliable linux is for that sort of duration. I'd not expect windows to
run that long; IMBW.

(I once had a vax/vms system still going after a year without reboot. It
was only stopped because of a company Christmas shutdown. I still miss
vms even with its vagaries :-) )

Rasbian lite installed here. nmtui is a text mode graphical interface
for network configuration that is present. Looks like and works like
raspi-config.

Don't say there's no gui for network control when there obviously is.

My (current) home linux server never 'goes down' except when there is a
power cut or a kernel or complete distro upgrade.

I hope its PI4B replacement will be as reliable

I see no reason why not
When we ran a shitload of Unix back in the day it never 'went down'
unless someone installed prototype software on it...Windows was rebooted
daily.

Never heard of nmtui before

I tried it. It didn't work. Probably because I have done things a
different way already.

Just as well. There are too damned many of us as it is, and the
politicians are pushing population growth as hard as they can.
It's all gonna crash, sooner or later (probably sooner).

Some years back at Yahoo! I turned off some FreeBSD servers that had

Doesn't work how?

It's not installed?
It doesn't load or show you a menu of options?
It doesn't have access to network devices?

Indeed - I was going to boast about my home linux servers having racked
up large uptimes, in one case with uptime wrapping round (a good few
years ago - an old linux kernel) - I was a bit nervous. I think the max
was 2 and half years - we do have a decent mains power supply, and yes, I
know that at some point I prob. should have done some security upgrades
that might have needed a reboot.

Since I stopped using the EPIA motherboards with VIA chips (20+ years
ago?) I've never had a crash. The boards have either been powered down
for hardware changes, kernel upgrades, and once because of finger
trouble - I typed shutdown in the wrong ssh session!!!

The server runs DNS, DHCP, Syslog, SMTP, IMAP, NFS, SMB, NTP, HTTP
servers as well as doing various LAN monitoring - currently on a PI3B,
with an upgrade to 4B being planned. Needless to say the NFS, SMB, HTTP
traffic is light, except when backups running!

No chance! There hasn't been enough farmland in the USA to feed all the
horses needed to replace all diesel and petrol-powered road transport
since the late 1960s. Cities have expanded a lot since then as well, which
has in turn reduced available farmland still further during the last 70
years.

Global population has grown by over 300% in my lifetime.

If NetworkManager doesn't manage the interfaces then nmtui can't do
anything and that is what I wrote about several posts back.

nmcli will show the interfaces and whether NM is managing them. If it
isn't you need to edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf so they
are managed by NM then you can use nmtui. nmtui was so very simple to
use having used the NM applet on various Linux desktops, just a text
mode version of what I've used for some time.

Depends on the LOAD. If not much is going on it can
be fairly conservative, maybe 70 watts.

I did have a simple Raspbian (very early) running on a Pi-1 for
about six+ years without interruption. It only does ONE thing though.
I'd forgotten it existed. Same SD card for all those years too.

Upgraded it to Bullseye and a new card a couple of years ago.
It'll likely run for a decade.

Now a very BUSY/DIVERSE system ... hard to say how long Linux
would run without a reboot. Actually Win-Server is pretty good
in that respect. Thing is, if "busy", you generally do some
kind of updates LONG before the system becomes unstable.
With Linux, updated kernels come out rather frequently and
I always reboot so everything will 'take'.

I have a 300+ page - small type - VMS manual. Did use it
and DID like it. It was well ahead of its time in many
respects. I'd be happy if some guru would kind of revive
it, adding a few more modern features, esp internet stuff.
You USED to be able to get VMS that'd run on X86, maybe ARM,
emulators but the owners decided to end that. There ARE
articles on running Unix s-V on a Pi however. VMS was much
better. Maybe after I'm fully retired ...

In any case the BSDs *are* solid. They don't try to keep
up with the latest fads. Perfect long-term function seems
to be the goal. Linux is far easier to work with, but that
may come with a price sometimes.

The systems that intrigue me are those they put on NASA
deep space probes and such. The redundancy, the ability
to work around serious hardware problems, amazing. That
is *art* ......

I'm gonna suggest an ASUS "Tuf"/"ROG" board instead.
Much faster, very very reliable, all the BIOS tweaks
fully exposed. More expensive than a Pi4 of course ...
but you get what you pay for.

And should STILL be rebooted daily :-)

Actually, I've learned to set auto-reboot on Pi's
that are running 'messy' - graphics/com-intensive -
apps. Crontab it at 6am or whatever ... gets rid
of all those little memory leaks and unclosed
subprocesses.

Winders is a MESS. Nobody at M$ really understands how
it all works, so it's blind patches and tweaks and damn
the side-effects. Tell the stupid consumers it's all
THEIR fault. Bet there's STILL some original Gates
code from the Ancient Times in there. But - Granny KEEPS
buying it ... hey, it comes "free" with yer new laptop !

Hmmm ... all that M$ cloud stuff, does anyone think it
runs on Winders Server ??? :-)

???

'nmcli' does exist and DOES work ... theoretically
anyhow. However it's a CRAPPY/COMPLEX/INFLEXIBLE
utility. I'm about to start writing something better
"for the rest of us". I'll post it when it's good.

'nmcli' .... but I'm not a nit-picker, typos happen, often.

Alas nmcli is quite user-unfriendly IMHO. There are days I
change network stuff several TIMES a day and nmcli is NOT
my buddy. Ergo the 'templates' I posted the other day for
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections

I'm beginning to work on a Python script that'll be much
easier to use than nmcli. Still text/terminal, but aimed
at "the rest of us", the ability to do usual tweaks very
easily.

Laziness is the mother of all invention :-)
