DietPi OS stats & comparison

-

See resource usage and performance stats of DietPi images, and compare those against other Debian-based distributions.

-

Further details about the compared values can be found in our blog post.

+

See resource usage and performance stats of DietPi images, compared to Debian-based lite/minimal/server images of other projects.

+

Note: This does not say that DietPi is better than other distributions, it does say that DietPi base images are lighter, being one of our major goals.

+

Furthermore, the OS images provided by other projects do not say much about the project itself. Others focus more on own build systems, kernel development, and/or hardware. We maintain own kernel sources only for a small number of SBCs, and otherwise rely on and benefit from kernel development done by other projects. Instead, we focus on userland development, our large catalogue of ready-to-use software options, automated setups and lightweight base images.

+

We do believe in the benefits of shipping minimal base images, allowing a better overview of installed packages and available features, less disk I/O on APT upgrades, installing additional packages only on demand. However, this may not be important for everyone, and some may prefer to have more packages/features pre-installed, hence less need to install things afterwards. This is hence not a question of better/worse, but one of personal priorities and preferences, for the own Linux system use case.

+

Further details about the compared values, though with outdated results, can be found in our blog post.

DietPi vs Debian (netinst CD)

-
on Odroid C4
+
Bookworm on x86_64 UEFI PC at 2024-05-26
+

These images are hard to compare. Debian does not offer a server live image. Closest to compare is the Debian network installer CD ISO image, with the DietPi UEFI installer image. The Debian installer debootstraps a fresh Debian onto the target drive, which requires a lot of pre-configuration, manual formatting, and makes use of network access for additional and/or updated packages. The DietPi installer comes with a complete embedded DietPi live image, which does not need any pre-configuration. However, opposed to Debian, DietPi does updates and initial configuration on first boot and login.

+

In the Debian installer, everything was de-selected, but the SSH server and common system utilities, which is closest to what DietPi images ship with. - - - - - - - - - - - + + + + + + + + + + +

DietPi vs Debian (QEMU qcow2)

on x86_64 PC
+
Bookworm on x86_64 VM at 2024-05-30
+

Tests were performed on a VirtualBox DietPi VM host with nested AMD-V, using qemu-system-x86_64.

+

The Debian local QEMU virtual machine image in qcow2 format was compared to the DietPi Proxmox image, which is in qcow2 format as well. We could have taken our generic VM image and compare it with the xz-compressed raw image of Debian, which is however not prominently listed on their download page. The content of all those images is identical, hence relevant is only that the disk format is the same.
