    Dont. They are notoriously bad at such things. Lack of Hardware acceleration mainly. These old Chips and problems with single-board-complications are just not worth it at such high prices.
    An Intel N100 MiniPC will have much more compute with less complications.




  • How much time do you have? Because even small models will take alot of time on that kind of hardware to spit out a long text…
    And the small models arent that great. I think the current best and economic model would be a mistral, mixtral or dolphin.
    If you got the power, nous-capybara is very good and “only” 34B parameters (loading alone needs like 40GB of memory).


  • I dont see how e.g. arch would be super hard to maintain.
    There is a nice GUI program for installing programs and updates. (like many modern distros)
    If you dont want to set everything up, go with Endeavour or Garuda.

    I find rolling release to be easier to maintain and keep up to date than non-rolling.
    Specially if you want up to date packages for desktop use.


  • Windows has a request assistance function? wtf… where is that found?
    I only know Remote desktop tools and most of these work perfectly fine on linux as the client or even under Wine.

    [Edit: woah, i did some rambling below here… not related to your specific case here, but some nice information maybe]

    Linux as host is where it gets funny… bigger ones support X11, pretty much none support Wayland.
    To be fair, its impossible to control mouse and keyboard under Wayland without root.
    I think we now have some new desktop packages for gnome and kde which can do that, so now they need to be implemented.

    But i dont see an effort being made for Wayland by the bigger providers in the near future… the market just isnt there and there is lots of uncertainty with the featureset.

    Switched to Rustdesk a while back, works nicely as client, but only picture output with wayland as host.l as of now.
    And i cannot copy&paste under wayland as client… even though it worked before…





  • It not only has to be not ‘open’ in the explorer, but properly unmounted. Tools like mkfs dont do that for you, its just not their job. (and might be unwanted or stop your from making mistakes like accidentally overwriting the wrong drive)

    try umount /dev/USBDRIVE

    If that still complaints about Device or ressource busy, then something is still using it.
    Either try to close things that might be the culprit, reboot and try again or, if installed and you are compfortable, you can check which processes using lsof -D <path where drive is mounted to> (you can get that location using mount | grep <path to usb drive>)




  • This. You can also directly connect via IP address when enabled on the target, very handy.

    Its probably also one of the few which have started developing Wayland support on the host side.
    Currently only clipboard and video sharing works, mouse and keyboard are close…
    wayland is very restrictive and things like full keyboard/mouse reading/writing need special handling (and afaik a mouse write method wasnt really available from user permissions so far)
