Alpine is very lightweight. I think it was built so that it would run well inside docker containers, which means it should be fairly easy for low-end computers to run it.

Afaik, it doesn't come with a DE out of the box, so it won't be very user-friendly

We'll all be in trouble when they finally invent an all-terrain puppy!

I thought they drove a jeep on a hill that's steep

Sheepy McWeepies

Haven't used it much myself, but Nobara might fit your description. It's optimized for gaming.

It's so true though. I found an old game on my mom's old PC from years ago. It doesn't even exist on the market anymore. I started it up with Wine and it ran perfectly. My brother tried it on his Windows 11 laptop and it wouldn't run. Weird how that works, haha!

Yeah, that makes sense

FPGAs can get pretty expensive. I'd say $300+

In the uses section, it mentions Tux being shown at the top of the boot sequence for Gentoo.

It's kinda funny because I've been using Gentoo for almost 4 years and never knew that there was one Tux per CPU core until I read this article. That's fun!

Just thought it put out the same number on every system I guess, haha!

Found a typo on line 172: quesiton -> question

Oh ok, cool!

Got a link handy? It's not coming up with anything in the browser for me.

From what I hear, installing Linux on Apple hardware is a bit more complicated than that. They might be stuck using a distro like Asahi. I've never bought any Apple hardware, so I have no experience with this myself though, so someone please correct me if wrong.

Try Scrum Poker

Yeah, the one's off sipeed's site should work. I've never used it though, I basically built my own, tiny LFS image for it. Also, keep in mind that if you get a Lichee RV, it will be significantly less powerful than the Lichee 4A. It's based on the single-core Allwinner D1 CPU and only has 512MB of memory. It's a fun little board though!

Edit: Just wanted to clarify: I have no experience with the 4A, only the RV model. I wish I did though. It looks pretty cool!

Good old Hackers (1995)

I think he said in an earlier video that the Lichee 4A comes with Debian pre-installed.

I own its predecessor, the Lichee RV. It recommends flashing one of their images to a flash card for that one, but I ended up compiling my own bootloader, kernel, etc just because I wanted to, for fun.

That's true!

The simplest way would probably be to just buy some external storage, like a usb drive, and move the files to that before switching. You can buy a 250GB usb hard drive for around $20 on Amazon.

If you're not worried about privacy and don't want to spend money on more storage, you could use a cloud storage service to move your files. I've used mega.io to do that in the past, but the amount of free storage is limited.
