reComputer AI R2000 - extra thermal pad in the box?

Hello everyone, I'm still a bit green when it comes to electronics. I recently bought reComputer AI R2000 from Seeed Studio, which is basiclly a Rasberry Pi 5 with Halio AI accelerator.

When I unboxed it, I found a loose thermal pad inside. I can't figure out if it's just an addtional spare part (like for an NVMe drive), or if I am supposed to open the case and put it somwhere inside right away.

Has anyone already worked with the reComputer and could tell me what it is for?

Thanks in advance!

I bought a raspberry pi 5 and I'm using it as a home computer but I cant find a good OS for it (more information in body text)

So I recently got Ubuntu after I got my raspberry pi 5. I chose Ubuntu since it is obviously the most popular OS, The OS is okay but it doesn't exactly fit my needs. I'm looking for a distro that is lightweight and when I say lightweight it should either come with only the bare essentials e.g: notepad, browser and calculator (those are just examples) and not with other apps I would find unnecessary e.g libre office, or the camera app which came with my Ubuntu distro. And I was hoping the OS would have cinnamon support. The most important mentions is that I'm using a old dell monitor from the 2000's which only supports specific resolutions therefore I struggled to find a good distro since the resolution of the monitor wasn't supported, If anyone knows a distro that would fit my needs please leave a comment down below. (please don't fry me, I'm new to Linux and I'm just looking for help thank you 😃)

Help with NVME on Raspberry Pi 5

Hello all, thanks for letting me join the forum, I'm new to raspberry pi. I got a Pi 5 with a NVME hat as a gift, I installed everything added the NVME hat and used a 512gb extra driver that I had. Everything. Looks good but when I tried to access the NVME drive I got the error on the picture.

How do you format it on raspberry?

It seems to be recognized but I cannot access it.

Thank you in advance!
