I figure a nice change of pace might just be showing off your current Arch Linux ARM setup.
Currently running it on a Nintendo Switch. https://i.imgur.com/R6vN05N.jpg
Along the same lines also have a Pinebook Pro running the official Manjaro image. https://i.imgur.com/rcsBQDp.jpg

I'm rebuilding my home lab right now, so I don't have anything set up that I want to show off. But the Switch looks pretty interesting, I should dust mine off and take a crack at it. The Jetson Nano was pretty fun, messing around with the camera and classification got me an internship.
It's good to see you post again.
Oh hey it's the person that remembers me putting Arch ARM on the Asus router!
How's it been?
It's been good, man. I'm working at a university now, all my years of fucking around with Linux got me a job as a sysadmin. I don't have as much time to experiment with boards nowadays, though I still pop in here to see what everyone's up to. We've had some decent growth, I remember when this sub was maybe about 100ish people.
If you don't mind me asking, do you experiment with Linux as a hobby? You seem to always be working with different devices. It's cool as hell. I think the most serious I ever got was compiling my own kernel on Debian, and then Gentoo, but I always find hardware to be more interesting.
Yeah just hobby. IT for a call center by day. Penguin by... hell all the time. Just enjoy using it on everything I can.
Pretty cool, man. I just ordered a raspberry pi 4, I think I will name it Parker in your honor. I've been meaning to test out the 8GB RAM one on the aarch64 kernel but I think your post today gave me the final push to do it.
kernel: 4.9?????
Nvidia... It's using the drivers from the Jetson Nano
did u compile it yourself?
Yeah https://gitlab.com/switchroot/kernel
