The SD card didn’t abruptly die or anything like that, NCP kind of ground to a halt following automatic maintenance. I couldn’t get it to cooperate, so I just decided to take it offline.
didn’t have anything important on there, was just using it as a test.
That said, I have heard of particularly problematic SD card models that are known to fail with the pi5.
Totally understandable. For whatever it’s worth, you can permanently disable and remove snap and snapd from an Ubuntu system (I had to do this recently with a raspberry pi 5). The amount of work to do this, however, may be practically equivalent to installing plasma on mint / lmde, but the guides on this are thankfully straightforward in case you’re ever interested.

This works well in practice, and upgrades still work as intended. I may need to follow this guide again very soon, as nextcloud pi unexpectedly died on me. I’m thinking of flashing either Ubuntu or trying their Debian fork out again.
I’d have thought cinnamon was a key draw for mint and lmde given it’s overall familiarity with windows / user friendliness? Would kubuntu or the fedora KDE spin work here?
this is a true success story and I love to see it.
such a dynamic duo! 😊
they’re so expressive 🥰
the slight lean on the black cat definitely says “oi, what you doing”
lmao this is great
gonna listen to some metalface rn
thank you for sharing all of these
but you can’t have a headphone jack because that’d be absurd 🫠
it’s a hard life!
Could be a prod ready engineering sample. They get around more than you may think.
they’re just little bulbasaurs charging up their solar beam
life is good
I don’t have a lot of experience with cats specifically, but pets need time to get used to a new home. This can take up to three months.
If this is day one, give them some space, blink slowly at them; let them know you’re gentle and there if needed.
have been happy using fedora workstation for over five years now 😊
I also keep a silverblue disk as a portable install to help debug iffy systems.
I love that you mentioned a macro pad.
I’ve been playing with a 5*5 winry25 in my spare time. I’ve rigged up a super janky way to make this wireless but I’m still working on that.
One of my side projects is to make a 6*6 fully wireless (2.4) macropad to make ‘precision input gaming’ more comfortable for people who don’t like to be deskbound for too long. Wireless mice are mostly figured out, wireless keyboards are great, but you don’t always need the full keyboard for some games, so I figure maybe I can make the left edge of the full ortho I had in mind detachable in some way.
I know how dumb this all sounds but ortho makes the whole ‘snap the edge off’ idea more palatable for me 😅
This is cool. Makes me wanna get off my ass and make my own ortho.
I was thinking of making a 20*6 monstrosity. Someday.
I can appreciate following the creators intent and gave this a legit crack around when Gnome 40 first released. I fell back to using a DtP because I found it frustrating to not be able to see the main panel clock on my secondary displays when I have something open in full screen on the primary. My Mac and windows systems will have this shown on all displays, I guess I just became accustomed to it.
I genuinely enjoy using gnome but there are situations like this which are massively disappointing to behold. I don’t feel bad making my own tweaks in light of their attitude towards assuming user behaviour without any sort of data to inform those decisions.
Neat. Which model are they considering?
i haven’t really had stability issues with kodi/jellyfin, rasbian/Ubuntu, retropi etc. I appreciate where you’re coming from but it’s kind of a knockabout device to help me learn more about apps I would like to host on a proper server later on.
generally am not happy with my pi5 as a hw offering, even as far as cheap arm based SBCs go.
