Earlier this week I installed bitcoin core on a new Lenovo laptop running Fedora 40. The entire IBD was done in under 14 hours, over home Wi-Fi.
The takeaway from this is: IBD is extremely sensitive to hardware. You get what you pay for.
I don’t think a Raspberry-Pi should be the basis for any inference about bitcoin, the BTC blockchain, or the bitcoin network.
