I did try BSD on pi and just didn't like it. The Linux distros for pi were just better for ease of use whether GUI or CLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda, it had a shitty Quadro card inside and "only" 8GBs of RAM. Don't ask me what they used it for. I work in the IT department there, but I dont have any idea . I took the GPU out to save a little bit of power and upgraded it to 16GBs, as I had some DDR3 laying around ^^ Main PC: R7 3700X / Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro Wifi / Radeon RX 5700 XT / 32GB DDR4-3200 / 250GB & 2TB Crucial MX500 (in HP Prodesk 400 Case) Laptop: R5 2500U / Radeon Vega 8 / 8GB DDR4-2400 / 500GB SK Hynix BC501 (HP Envy x360 13) My little Server: i7-7700 / Asrock H110M-ITX / 24GB DDR4-2400 / Samsung 860 Pro 250GB & Seagate Firecuda 2TB / VMware ESXi 6.7 (Don't tell me i should Name them, i don't want to ^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 22, 2017 Don't use it on my main right now but I do have a 128gb spare ssd with Mint on it, whenever I want to use my work PC for more than a few minutes of personal use I swap the hdd for that SSD and use Mint with it. I think I might get a new work laptop soon (this is like a 4 year old machine and they decomission any machine that's out of warranty) I'm hoping the new model will have a spare 2.5 bay to run a dual booth on it. I am also waiting a bit more before I pull the trigger on a new rig that's likely going to be a 1600 or 1700 but I'd like it to have more compatibility to do GPU pass-through so I can just leave 2 cores (or 4 depending on which CPU I end up getting) behind on Linux and the rest for Windows. The plan on that would be to run Arch Linux with OpenBox as the Window Manager to keep it very minimalist. ------- Current Rig ------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
