I've been using on my , an abotu equivalent to a Raspberry Pi 3, with 2 GB of RAM. I was just reading about as a drop-in replacement for Docker. Does anyone have any experience using it? Will it use noticeably less system resources? Any gotchas?

Libre Computer's new $35 Sweet Potato is a Raspberry Pi-like single-board PC that's similar to the 6-year old Le Potato board, but which features upgrades including DDR4 memory, 16MB of SPI boot ROM storage, a PoE header and USB-C port for power. linuxgizmos.com/libre-computer

Recently (and suddenly) I've been having weird stability issues with my and projects.

What changed is I ran out of official Pi power supplies (like sells) and I started using whatever I had on hand.

I learned these will do their best, but they really need load regulation at +/- 3%.

Getting back to an official power supply made a huge difference. Issues melted away and everything is stable.

Rebuilt on a 3 that I had sitting around, and was able to set some flags in cmdline.txt to get sound. It's not great sound, but it's sound. Some may be due to the screen rotation I need for the vertical monitor.

I'll likely rebuild again on Renegade next.

I rebuild early and often because I have built for the heavy lifting. github.com/edthedev/educade

I can't get sound working on the core.

Everything else is a delight, but sound is critical to enjoying these .

What little I can learn suggests that and have dropped (sound) support for Pi2 equivalent hardware. Fair enough.

While I can compile alternate C flags with the best of them, $55 will get me a Pi4 equivalent - so I'll try that next.

@librecomputer you are welcome! at the moment @guysoft is adding btrfs support to CustomPiOS, that we can use the images.

but i think @guysoft didn't get his test boards until now.

customization project update: Waiting on parts. It's about 90% of the time in a hobby hardware project.

Nice thing is there's always something to look forward to in the mail.

custom build update:

- uses such thin wires for the control deck, I was almost unable to reuse the stock controls.
- Pac-Man Legacy uses a sideways monitor so I've been learning how to rotate each app.
- looks fantastic, though.

Surprisingly, the controls feel a bit more responsive in on a than they were on the native board from . But there's almost no noticable difference (both very good).

and updates of the afternoon:

- The Libre Renegade running Armbian has no trouble driving a input tablet. I didn't need to install anything, I just plugged it in and it works.
- Libre Renegade with Armbian has also worked immediately with both cheap USB Wifi dongles I have attached to it.

roles for setting up a school lab are progressing. Pic below is the Renegade looking smug.

New tests SBCs arrived. Let's see how well we can support these SBCs.

With Raspberry PIs SBCs still hard to find or out of my price range, I found this Libre Le Potato Board for $35.00 bucks, doesn't have the WiFi - but does have 2gb of ram, It seems to run fairly well, but I haven't had a chance to try out any hats or do any real tests on it. It does seem to have a overscan problem with this display, but otherwise it's good.
I didn't mind adding USB WiFi - kind of reminds of how things were with the Rpi 2B.

anyone worked with AML-s805x-ac ("la frite"), or its big brother "le potato"? I'm trying to set up the UART and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

build update:

The shell will be .
The far right button will be sacrificed to become a USB port, making it easier to use a keyboard or alternate controller.

Games library will focus on games that don't need more than 4 buttons (generally coin, start, jump, action).

The motherboard will be a (a 2 equivalent).

I built the operating system up from headless .
