@dj @cvnt @pwm @ins0mniak @transgrammaractivist @Owl @NonPlayableClown Having proper I/O like an actual fucking SATA port helps. Certainly a better use of PCB space than Pi's two 4K HDMI ports which it couldn't drive anyway.

@cvnt @pwm @ins0mniak @transgrammaractivist @Owl @dj @NonPlayableClown Heard the Pi 5 now has a proper PCIe interface but to use it you'd have to get a breakout board that costs almost the same as Pi itself, and at that post just get an Optiplex.

Optiplex 990 ex-PoS or CoW, like $200 refurb, and you don't need gpu blob to boot it. Amazing.

If they were not $35, I'd have zero.

@mint @cvnt @pwm @transgrammaractivist @Owl @dj @NonPlayableClown I love pis as a general rule but I have zero need or desire to 4k anything with the thing. Run them headless most of the time.

@ins0mniak @cvnt @pwm @transgrammaractivist @Owl @dj @NonPlayableClown I'm still pimping that old Thinkcentre with an AMD APU. Recently upgraded it with two NVMes in striped zfs, and during that had to circumcise the x1 slot with a Makita drill so that I could fit the secondary NIC in there as I had to relocate it from the x16 slot now used by the drives. Broke one of the ground pins, but everything works still.

@mint @cvnt @pwm @transgrammaractivist @Owl @dj @NonPlayableClown I managed to brick one by connecting a PCI adapter.

@phnt @cvnt @pwm @transgrammaractivist @Owl @dj @NonPlayableClown @mint Yeah tho it is a bit better.
I've been using void on the pi's and armbian on my C4 boards.
one that does have good support at least from what i've seen so far is diet pi.
However you have very few options if systemd is a dealbreaker.
Slack has an image for it but I havent used it in months for the reasons you just mentioned.

@ins0mniak @cvnt @pwm @transgrammaractivist @Owl @dj @NonPlayableClown @mint I wish there was more OS support for the pis. Debian is basically all you can get that works ootb and most of the distributions don't packge the configuration utils for the pis anyway so good luck configuring the eeprom. One would think that the most prevalent sbc would have great OS support, but no.

Oh, Richard Miller's Plan 9 image for pis boots nicely too.

I was setting up Pi-Hole for a family member this week and since I prefer RH stuff over Debian and needed something that wouldn't break on a random autoupdate, I gave Fedora server a try. I don't recommend it. The default image has a bunch of remote access bloat almost nobody will use. They also brag on the wiki how RPis are fully supported by a special group; A group that never bothered to package the config utils.
CentOS used to have RPi images, RH dropped that with the bullshit Stream rebrand.
Void might be something I might try when I find a use case for the Pi I have somewhere.

It really opens up once you grok 'this client isn't the computer. '

@cvnt @pwm @ins0mniak @transgrammaractivist @Owl @dj @NonPlayableClown @mint That might be even better. At least that will give me a reason to finally tinker with Plan 9.
