Seriously? Is this a group for Windows users? :)

Damn! True. How may I forgotten about that -_\

In this group: Windows users getting triggered by simple facts

Sorry my internet lagged

This was supposed to send when that dude was ranting about someone mentioning windows filesystems

was it that?

was it that?

Yes. That was lame. Can't get used to that fn lock - haven't had it on previos laptop. Thank you :)

great :D

Hello folks! I have an Arduino and two Banana Pi. What would you suggest me to do with them? I know nothing about them so I'm pretty lost. Thanks in advance. PS: It's just for fun, nothing serious.

the latest W10 Build is 1709, not 1607, AFAIK ?

you like rock 'n roll I see ???

I checked for updates and all I got was an update to Windows Defender

do you know what LTSB means?

banana pi? fork from raspberry?

Long Term Service Branch

Of course I don't have the latest build.

do you know what LTSB means?

Long Term support/service Branch, or something like this?

Something like that

That's why it's not 1709

Install Linux on one of the banana pi's, and set Kodi as your window manager for a home entertainment system

Good for streaming music/videos from a NAS, or using various plugins of dubious lagality

got it

banana pi? fork from raspberry?

I suppose. Or maybe a Raspberry clone? I didn't buy them. A friend of mine had them stored in a box and told me I could use them to play if I wanted to, because he has no time to use them at the moment.

well, you can install libreelec as media center

or a home server with nextcloud

well, you can install libreelec as media center

This also works

Or see if you can get retropi on it, and use it for old NES games and such

I don't think I can stream much. Connection here is quite limited. But anyway, how do I install Linux on this? What kind of Linux would be better?

Pidora 21? ?

But any Linux that supports arm should work

This specifically made for it

Yay! Thanks!

Yay! Thanks!

No problem! Enjoy your pi's haha

Yesterday I've found a Pidora 21 SDHC, lol

Unfortunately this seems to have been abandoned :c

if it is based on raspberry pi 1, pidora or more easy with NOOBS installer

if its a rasperry 2 or 3, Fedora for ARM

Unfortunately this seems to have been abandoned :c

Well, there's Fedora ARM now

Well, there's Fedora ARM now

Yeah

or a home server with nextcloud

Oh! This could be interesting. I wanted to have my own Nextcloud server for quite a while, but I didn't manage to do it.

if it is based on raspberry pi 1, pidora or more easy with NOOBS installer

I have a Pi 1B

Oh! This could be interesting. I wanted to have my own Nextcloud server for quite a while, but I didn't manage to do it.

you can install it on raspbian or, if you want the hardcore way, pidora

Oh! This could be interesting. I wanted to have my own Nextcloud server for quite a while, but I didn't manage to do it.

You'll probably want a huge SD card or an external drive to go with it haha

problem is, pidora is not mantained since 2015 i think

problem is, pidora is not mantained since 2015 i think

I should check.

Well, there's Fedora ARM now

Yes, AFAIK, both Fedora and Debian support ARM. But I still don't know how to install them. Actually I don't know what to do with them. Should I plug a keyboard to it? Or a screen? If so, how?

pidora.ca

You'll probably want a huge SD card or an external drive to go with it haha

I have both.

if you use NOOBS installer you can configure it to use ir headless through VNC or ssh

I have both.

Nice

you only have to format the SD as FAT32

Yes, AFAIK, both Fedora and Debian support ARM. But I still don't know how to install them. Actually I don't know what to do with them. Should I plug a keyboard to it? Or a screen? If so, how?

It should have usb and an HDMI port

Or something similar

download NOOBS and copy the contents of the zip to the SD, and boot it

if it's a raspberry 1 clone it should have composite video too

Pidora's website is still hosted

if you use NOOBS installer you can configure it to use ir headless through VNC or ssh

Headless? What is the NOOBS installer?

NOOBS installer is an official image from Raspberry that lets you select which system you want to install on the SD

even multiboot

It should have usb and an HDMI port

I don't know HDMI but I saw two USB.

NOOBS installer is an official image from Raspberry that lets you select which system you want to install on the SD

Oh, nice.

from there you can install raspbian, libreelec, etc

Pidora's website is still hosted

The latest download is "Pidora-2014"

Oh, sounds cool.

ERROR: S client not available

The latest download is "Pidora-2014"

very nice

from there you can install raspbian, libreelec, etc

I need to give libreelec a try

Is there any performance improvement over OSMC?

if you want only libreelec you can download directly the image from their website (raspberry 1 edition) and make the SD with dd on term

I've used Kodi over raspbian, OSMC, OpenELEC

kodi over raspbian is too heavy

I would use LibreELEC, libre fork of OpenELEC

it has the just OS to run Kodi

no more, no less

Nice

Should have a bit less bloat than OSMC in that case

it has plugins for watching tv over internet, streaming music, bittorrent..

I've used OSMC and didn't like the interface

but it's a personal choice

Guys, are 32GB of eMMC enough for Fedora? I'd like to install it on my Acer One, it's a crappy 2 in 1 "laptop"

(It has an Atom and 2GB of DDR3)

my install is at this moment on 8,8GB

if that helps you

my install is at this moment on 8,8GB

Ok, if will be fine on 32GB ? Thank you so much

my problem, now, is that this crappy thing won't boot anything different than Windows images.

The latest download is "Pidora-2014"

So it's not supported anymore. Okay, that's what I thought.

my problem, now, is that this crappy thing won't boot anything different than Windows images.

Is it an aspire one?

I've used OSMC and didn't like the interface

What is OSMC?

Is it an aspire one?

Acer One S1002

not Aspire, jusr "one"

What is OSMC?

Another Kodi over linux

my problem, now, is that this crappy thing won't boot anything different than Windows images.

Really? Why? I have an Acer Aspire One with Debian installed.

not Aspire, jusr "one"

I dont know UEFI much But, secure boot maybe?

I dont know UEFI much But, secure boot maybe?

already tried clearing secure keys

Really? Why? I have an Acer Aspire One with Debian installed.

A friend of mine has my same laptop and he has my same problem. Trying to boot any Linux distro usb, it fails and boots Windows from the main eMMC

Acer...

Can you not just disable secureboot entirely?
