Dreaming: The DevTerm-X86

LattePanda v1 expectation adjustment post… I ran the linuxium script on linuxmint-20.3-xfce-64bit.iso and installed it. The installation itself is still painful, taking long, non-responsive pauses. But it’s clean and fully functional once installed. A very usable x86 desktop experience in something smaller than an RPi that requires no cooling. And without “custom” OS builds, stupid /boot/config.txt params or overlays…

The chip/sbc prices nowadays are killing me… I remember buying RPi’s for 50 bucks. I guess 189 bucks shipped for a micro x86 system is pretty good compared to the RPi4…
