How's it holding up as your desktop?

Which apps do you keep open?

Do you find yourself closing apps to make room for new tasks (due memory constraints, CPU constraints) ?

Did you find a way to run from faster drives (like an SSD over an SD Card?) This makes my RPi4 work a lot faster.

If you run the standard stress test for Raspberry Pi with the Pi in this case, does the Pi throttle back due to overheating?

Hi!

I'd like to know what's in the user guide, and also, how to listen to music with the 'Pi (what's a good audio player for command line, and similarly for the graphical environment), and how to play music with Python. I've not explored the sound programs in Linux for ages, so I've no idea what's available, what's pre-installed etc.

Also, if you feel it's useful, if there's a problem, how easy it is to re-download a new Raspbian and install it - and if you recommend the full image with extras, or the one without extras. I installed the one without extras, and was wondering if there's anything exceptionally worthwhile that I'm missing.
