    Mine idles at 54'C with a tiny 5v, the cpu seems to throttle despite the specs saying it gets throttled at 80'C. I get great
    performance improvements when I use an old yet larger cpu fan.

    How do you know it throttles?

    I've not noticed any change in performance that would indicate that the CPU was being throttled.

    having the desktop temp/cpu widgets active and looking at xtop ... just visual observations ... certain 'apps' take cpu to 100% and the temp shoots up to 80'C+ ... like I say ... only if I don't have a big ass fan sucking the heat out ... perhaps I have a rotten pi 4 but this thing definitely needs a big fan

    Being able to do "apt-get update" for Synchronet and dependencies
    would go a
    long way towards what you're saying.

    I was also thinking that a baked-in screen editor/file manager would
    be useful.
    Perhaps integration with Midnight Commander?

    Which apt repo? Debian? Ubuntu? .. what about a PPK? How about an appImage, flatpak or snap?

    The issue isn't just the executable, there's a lot of bespoke
    configurations that go along with the executables.

    Raspian/Debian. We're talking Raspberry Pi.

    This would be a MOSTLY preconfigured system. I was asking about apt in
    the context of upgrades to Synchronet.

    With the rPI 4, you should have at least a good heat sync... the Argon
    cases are good, but even the canakit setup will work okay. What you can
    do is underclock/undervolt slightly if you don't want to do that to keep thermals in better check, but this will bring it closer to RPI 3 speeds.
