R.L. Dane :Debian: :OpenBSD: 🍵<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mapstodon.space/@adventure_tense" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>adventure_tense</span></a></span></p><p>Well, I have one other laptop running debian, and a laptop running Debian-based <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/armbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Armbian</span></a>, so I'm sure I'll be on Debian 13 at some point.</p><p>As far as my work machine, well, I've invested a good chunk of time getting it to work well, and configured the way I like it, so I'm not in a hurry to jump ship to another distro. I technically have until October (thanks, microsnot!) to replace windows on my coworker's machine, so I might wait and see how Debian 13 shapes up. I'm sure it'll be mostly perfect.</p><p>I guess I need to come up with a list of pros and cons for staying with Debian. For me, the software starts getting really outdated after a release is a year old. I do wish they'd switch to a yearly release (that'd be <em>perfect</em>, honestly), but I do understand that it's a proper, true community-run effort, and that would about double the workload.</p>

I've had very few problems with it in a few weeks of use, granted the hardware has been out 6 years or so, but I expected things to be worse.</p><p>I imagine most of the support is in mainline now, but with <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/Armbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Armbian</span></a> I can run 6.12 while many of the vendor images are still stuck on 4.x!</p>
smallsolar<p>Update: spent a bit of time learning about u-boot. I've flashed <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/armbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>armbian</span></a> community amlogic S9xx Debian server to the SD card. Then was able to chain load the u-boot image and it booted up!</p><p>So I interrupted the boot loop by hitting Enter over uart, then I did `mmc info` and then `fatload mmc 1:0 0x01000000 u-boot-s905x-s912.bin` and finally `go 0x01000000`</p><p>Next is to see if can script this so I don't have to do it manually... <br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/hackingTvBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hackingTvBox</span></a></p>
selfhosting.couchsurfing<p>I gotta say, apart from the broken stuff when venturing off the garden path with Armbian install/config scripts, I'm very impressed with the distro after installing it and spending a couple weeks pushing the NanoPi M4 to its limit.</p><p>it doesn't support LXQt as a desktop out of the box - meaning installing <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/LXQt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LXQt</span></a> isn't a curated option in the <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/Armbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Armbian</span></a> install script - but just adding it as one would typically do on a bare Debian machine works fine, there are few to no obvious bugs, and the desktop is very snappy on the <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/Rockchip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rockchip</span></a> RK3399.</p><p>I will try to get a <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/NanoPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NanoPi</span></a> M6 eventually, as 4 GiB RAM is just not enough, but for now the M4 is doing very well in the role I have it in.</p>
smallsolar<p>After loads of research I found reference to if you erase the emmc then it should drop down to try and boot from SD or USB, using `store init 2` I managed to erase the emmc and then through a weird combination of the usb stick and SD card managed to chain load newer u-boot and voila <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/armbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>armbian</span></a> booted! </p><p>It seems like you need both to actually boot, tried to only do one and it didn't work.</p><p>7/n</p>
