The Raspberry Pi series has evolved into versatile systems, but running Windows has been challenging for enthusiasts. A recent project explored running Windows 11 on the Raspberry Pi 5 using Runtipi, a platform for deploying containers. This method allows Windows 11 to run in a container using KVM technology. The installation process took about 38-43 minutes, resulting in a Windows 11 desktop with limited performance, including a capped display resolution of 800x600. Geekbench 6 tests showed single-core performance similar to Raspberry Pi OS, but multi-core performance was lower. Running PC games resulted in long load times and resolution issues, making the experience unsatisfactory. The containerized approach simplifies the installation process compared to traditional methods, making it a viable option for running lightweight applications on the Raspberry Pi.

The author began gaming at age four with a Super Nintendo and has primarily engaged in PC gaming. They appreciate the versatility and upgrade potential of gaming desktops but acknowledge challenges in the PC gaming landscape as of 2024. Common issues include mismanagement of resolution and scaling in AAA titles, with games often defaulting to lower resolutions and lacking optimization for ultrawide monitors. Gamers may struggle with incorrect automatic resolution adjustments, as seen in titles like Cyberpunk 2077, and may need to modify .ini files for desired settings. The terminology surrounding upscaling technologies can be confusing, with different games using various terms for similar features. Some games overwhelm players with excessive graphics settings, making it difficult to determine their impact on performance. The lack of standardized previews for graphics settings complicates decision-making, and many games require restarts after changing settings without clear guidance on when this is necessary. Overall, the author desires a more streamlined experience in PC gaming compared to the plug-and-play nature of consoles.
