I'm sure if I dig deep enough, I might find threads like these for any hardware.
Just look at Apple. Their MacBook lineup has been a mess since 2016, and they are a "reputable" and overpriced non-aliexpress company.
And yes, you're fucked if you buy something from Ali and it turns out faulty. But you're also fucked if you buy second-hand. The risk of loss is equal.
I had assumed, since I can do flatpak install org.gnome.Sdk and select 3.38 (there are even older 3.x versions to select from), that they left it for older GTK apps that are not (yet) compatible with newer runtimes.
You're comparing apples to oranges here and this has literally nothing to do with the hardware that was mentioned in this thread. They all have soldered mobile CPUs. The N100, N305, 4700u, etc.
No need to, they both have their place for sure... I don't know their features, and I probably don't even use most of them. but openwrt is solid enough for potato hardware, whereas opnsense is not. Also, my point was to show that both operating systems run on the aliexpress hardware, counteracting your claim that some systems don't boot.
I run a trigkey (AMD 5700u) as my NAS (unraid) and homelab, and a CW p-5 (N305) as my router (opnsense), and have no problems at all. So they for sure boot Linux and FreeBSD, which is 90% the case.
Unlike some old second hand, new hardware is more powerful and energy efficient.
I'm running mine successfully for the past few months and never had an issue. The only thing to make sure, is, that it passes the serial number through. In case it goes bonkers, you can just swap it.
Noice! I got a successfull build of a flatpak bundle (without webkit) using GitHub actions. the bundle can be downloaded and installed via flatpak install --user xxx.flatpak and it's running.
Now I need to figure out, how to publish this to Flathub.
TBH I'm fairly new to this. Gnome 45 sandbox has webkit2-4.1, while my PC build uses webkit2-4.0. Now, Gnome 3.38 sandbox has webkit2-4.0, but it still doesn't run, due to missing libs. And I don't know how to put everything together, so it works without having to re-build everything.
I managed to get it somehow working, but it got rejected by Flathub, because they don't want me to build webkit and use the network during build (which I need)
But what about the Hamas that's hiding behind all the Humans, and not to mention the beheaded babies. Isn't it a bit too early for a ceasefire, since Israel hasn't gotten its vengeance?
I haven't had much success with the arr-scripts, whereas with the lidarr:plugins + deemix I had.
I did not test it, but It should work, since it only pulls the albums, and is not involved in the download process at all.
Oh, and checks for existing ones, so there are no duplicates.
