Since I know MX Linux by heart, my config of the Pi5 SBC with MX was quite fast.

Since I dont do
`curl unknown_url my_SBC` I went to raspap myself
I love what I saw so that is another OS to try for my SBC Pi5
#pfsense #rPI #raspap
#SBC #ARM #Pie #Raspberry #GPIO #Electronics #OpenSource #POSIX
I wanted to run something similar to pfSense on my SBC.
I found this site on which I saw OpenWRT (which I know & love but had forgotten, sue to a broken wifi router) and RaspAP

Im also going to install the MX-23.6_rpi_respin on a microSD card. It's a respin of Raspberry Pi OS which will work also with Pi5 hardware.

Thanks to the SBC distro I've been brought back the the light & powerful LXQt DE. It's a breeze and a whif of elegance in blistering speed to work on the Raspberry Pi5.
I will install LXQt on my X86 system also so that machine can Fly like an Eagle
Thank you for the excellent work programmers!
I can literally use any peripheral that is recognized by X86 Linux kernel on the ARM Linux kernel.
In this example on Audio Interface is being tested on the SBC

Just after boot, running UI server idle, this 8GB 64bit SBC uses 470+MB RAM
It turns out that thonny is alreay on my SBC 128GB microSD card, where I installed the distro with recommended programs
@kurt
That is quite a bummer. I wonder what the reason might have been for the programming team to revoke that possibility.
The current ways of preparing the Headless Install through customization, are of no value to you because your OS / computer cannot run the imager, which brings you in a chicken egg situation
TIL about a nice IDE for Python, named Thonny, thanks to @villares for telling me about the existence of Thonny
I will download it for my SBC immediately
Orienting myself in the IDE of mu (for python)
Initially it looks strange; no normal menu for help/about
It must be geared towards UI novices?
Another plus point for the Raspberry Pi5
The machine works very gracefully with extremely slow USB sticks
Of course is the kernel specifically the kernel modules which do the Magical Work, but it's so beautiful to see how the buffers are dynamically changed to compensate for the extremely slow device
I dont like the Raspberry Pi update interface, no details are echoed
It's designed for the novice, linux user
I type
`sudo apt-get update`
Then I type
`sudo apt-get full-upgrade`
It's debian so all details are echoed in full galore form
Another Plus for the Raspberry Pi5
Pi5 carried ffox getting waves of slams with grace and never bogged down the SBC
I took the browser to a horrific site
Amazing work!
One program that was written very well, with both the beginning and the master user in mind is this one
Raspberry Pie imager. If you barely know how to move in a graphic user interface you will still be able to make the image.
If you're a seasoned POSIX operator like me, the imager will still do exactly what you want and give you the proper results
nmcli has executables both for ARM and also for elf binaries.
As you can see in this photograph I've run the program on my X86 machine and my Pi5
Reading docs on new hardware is important.
I'm reading up on the Pi5 procedures recomended
Now I know about nmcli network manager cli

Because of this omission in Wayland, which does it in a totally different manner, the pop-up window of the clipboard manager CopyQ, cannot function. I'm still going to use it though because at least the icon appears in the status bar
This is a setup I want to achieve with my Raspberry Pi5
For the second GPU output I need to wait for the price for the microHDMI to HDMI adapter
