Tux Machines
Posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 15, 2024
I tend toward the minimal side of things when it comes to computer hardware. Maybe it's a side effect of spending so much time working on DOS machines. Or perhaps it's a result of the time in my early 20s when my friends and I would cobble together working personal computers from old equipment we had and parts people had thrown away. However I ended up here, it's my habit to buy refurbished computers rather than cutting edge new machines and it's my preference to tinker with low-specification devices, like Raspberry Pi single-board computers, over top-of-the-line servers.
This week I want to touch upon a few fun and interesting things we can do with minimal, fanless devices like the Raspberry Pi series of computers and the PinePhone. Technically these mini projects I will cover below will also work on full featured, x86_64 powered computers too. However, I think the style of these projects is best suited to minimal, possibly headless, machines. Keeping that in mind, the steps I'll be sharing below are intended to be run on systems running small, Debian-based distributions, such as Raspberry Pi OS and UBports.
