Question about Power Consumption: Raspberry Pi 4 with DietPi vs. Raspberry Pi OS

Hi everyone,

I’m currently considering the impact of the operating system on the power consumption of my Raspberry Pi 4. Specifically, I’m interested in comparing DietPi and Raspberry Pi OS.

Has anyone here had experience with how these two systems differ in terms of energy usage? Is there a noticeable savings with DietPi, or are the differences minimal? I’d appreciate any insights or tips!

Thanks in advance!

I’m not sure if the OS itself will have an impact because RPI OS and DietPi are almost the same. Probably more impact they will have with components like headless mode, serial console, CPU frequency aso.
