How I migrated from a Mac Mini to a Raspberry Pi
Well, it's been a rough but fun ride getting to this stage, and I can say that I've learned substantially more about Linux compared to when I started out.
Right now, I can say that my computing environment has stabilized, and I can do practically everything I used to do on the old Mac Mini plus quite a bit more. The system remains lean and mean, and I don't intend to install anything major in the near future. My major annoyance is not being able to print, and I'm unlikely to be able to fix this in the near future, but I'll revisit it when I have time.
Likewise with my video playback situation. To give you some idea, I tried to view Pharrell Williams' "Happy" video the other day, and while the sound played fine, I was still watching the video in slo-mo 30 seconds after the song finished. But hey, you can't have everything…
Incidentally, the Raspberry Pi Model 2 has been hailed as a machine that can run Windows 10: I'm sure there's an element of truth in this, but given the hardware limitations, I don't see how this is possible or even desirable. Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see (but I won't be trying it!).

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
