Ola friends! My Pi2 just isn't up to playing back H265 encoded content. Jerk-o-vision regrettably. I run LibreElec (KODI) As I see it my...
I think I'll ditch the "hardcore" gaming requisite on this box and save that for my existing i7. I love that AsRock DeskMini 110 - just what...
Thank you both very much for the insights, very good to know. I'll price up some components later. Hadn't thought about gaming, but tempted!
Ola! My last build was my i7-920, many many years ago! I'm subsequently not down with the newfangled stuff anymore :( Though still capable :)...
I've been running Lubuntu on a 7 year old laptop (Acer Aspire) for several months. Setup and installed just fine, detected all hardware and...
