honestly unless you are planning to develop for them and can improve the jankiness, neither. base pinephone is too weak for literally anything, even running that super minimal os. pro I only had for a few days before selling due to having no time for it but it was only powerful enough for me to think specs wise that’s what the original should have been for the year it came out. I kept the basic one because I already did the open source modem firmware or whatever it was but its probably way out of date now.

If this is way out of date and things have improved much, someone tell me please.

not particularly exciting I think I had ‘dog’ one time while distro hopping.

supposedly geese are delicious but I don’t know how you get one on the dinner table without it killing you first.

holy fuck you mean she’s younger than me? I call myself an old man all the time but I don’t look quite as old as she does yet.

I guess its for mac book but on a real keyboard just replacing the caps with tall ones that loft from square to a circle at the top would be way better and less floppy

Puzzling choice to have a one letter difference to an also minecraft related project, more so given the stuff with the other dev being a poop.

Oh yeah wireless dongles can be annoying. I had a stack of intel combined wifi/bt laptop chips mooched from an old job that I had been subbing in on family computers because they just work and motherboards with built in wifi use the same ones usually. I did that thing again where I resolved the problem for myself then forgot it existed for others.

if it’s not already an option in the power settings, it should be feasible to adapt any linux laptop guide on how to do this. Look in to TLP. There may be easier options or graphical frontends too.

driver for what? I put all my old people on bazzite so I’m not maintaining 3 versions of windows and several linux distros and so far everything works except one printer I had to install the driver via rpm-ostree.

that’s the most genuine smile I’ve seen on him. wtf.

from what I can gather its currently recommended to use quadlets to generate systemd units to achieve what compose was doing. podman compose is a thing but IIRC I didn’t find that was straight drop in and I had to change the syntax or formatting a bit for it to work and from the brief testing I have put in quadlets seems less hassle, but if you use a non systemd distro then I don’t know.

I figured as much. These are things that were given to me as an “otherwise it goes in the landfill” package deal. a couple have klipper over dietpi for my 3d printers but the rest are seemigly junk and I’ll probbaly toss them in the electronics section at the recycle depot next time I go there

yeah I think I have an orange, a mango, a nanopi, and a couple entirely written in chinese that are different from each other. Just before reddit went senile I was planning on posting images to try to ID the unknown ones but I didn’t and got busy with stuff less likely to be a dead end.

Can anyone confirm if it is indeed the case that you can’t just put whatever os you want on these things, or if it is possible by jumping through some hoops that google would never show me in favour of showing me other shit that makes them more money?

but how do I run it on confusingly named chinese sbc’s for which the only os images that seem to exist are an untrustworthy debian based system and an old version of android?

oh no, I changed world lines again, didn’t I?

That is some high end naming sense

which I will never use. It sounded like everything I don’t want the first time and it doesnt sound any better now.

it usually seems more like whatever distro doing things however they want rather than following any standard

I’m more used to seeing shit like: c:/users/username/appdata/local/developer/game/engine/data3/saves/profile0/epe90_cats90-slot203.nonstandardfileformat
