Re: How "optimised" is Pi OS, compared to Ubuntu 20.04?

If you choose to run Ubuntu, I would recommend using the Desktopify Project: https://github.com/wimpysworld/desktopify I would revisit Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) after it comes out of beta. I feel like it has the memory footprint, configuration and the optimizations that make sense for my use case. Fo...

Chromium 83 sucks for browsing and YT's, 80 was much better.
Time to go back to Gentoo64 until it gets fixed.
Do these instuctions work for Raspberry PI OS 64-bit?

RealVNC-server arm64 is working now.

Re: RPI 4 8GB hardware version 1.4

I made the mistake of playing with the GPU memory allotment and caused my 8gb RPI4 not to boot. The max is 512mb, and if you set it to 896 it doesn't boot. I thought with so much ram I could max out the GPU, but after reading some forum posts it seems anything over 256mb is overkill. I made several ...

Re: Request for 64 bit raspbian.

Temporary RealVNC server alternative for Raspi OS 64bit until a aarch64 version is available. Tried vino with much success for the server, it is comparable to realvnc but you lose the ability of the cloud connection. Need dconf-editor to enable and adjust settings. sudo apt install vino dconf-editor...

Re: Request for 64 bit raspbian.

I am enjoying the Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit and I think it is pretty awesome. Freecad works now, so that's a huge plus for me. VNC-server is probably the thing I miss the most and I hope that is temporary. I think this will be requested by many. Minecraft-Pi is not in the 64-bit either. Not a deal brea...

Re: Pi4 64-bit raspbian kernel for testing - Focus on Pi4

I noticed some apps don't work with 64-bit kernel.

Sonic-Pi
Minecraft-Pi (It quit working on 32-bit as well)

I realize this is a test and not meant for everyone.

Re: Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) released

I also noticed the wifi in Ubuntu 19.10 does not support 5Ghz band. Probably lots of bugs left that Raspbian has addressed.
It also locks up after an hour or so with my setup.

I will stick with Raspbian for now.

Re: Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) released

The problem is the USB ports don't work. You can SSH into the Pi 4 with: User: ubuntu Pass: ubuntu It will then ask for new password. This only works if you have ethernet cable connected. I logged in by ssh with ubuntu/ubuntu and the changed default password, it works but why USB port doesn't work?...

Is a 64 bit gcc package not available (for compilation on the pi4 - I'm aware of cross-compile options ...) yet, or did I miss it?
