I have the same setup +1

It does actually.

This is a dev kit. This is not for normal people to use. RISC-V is not there yet, but this is a good first step.

One year is nothing.

Learn as much as you can from the people around you at your current position.

Find a new technology or existing one you want to improve/learn and create a project out of it that you can do at home.

Look for ways to improve your productivity.

Become a SME.

One day you will own a project, helping the new guy and be the person people come to if they have questions.

Put in the time. You’ll find your way.

What exactly in this post is worth preserving?

Do you ever just try things on your own and then reach out after you have a legitimate question from the experience?

We’re talking about something that takes 5 seconds to test.

Yes, you can copy files from Linux to an iOS device.

But if there was an easy private way, I’d be open to getting Apple products again.

Have you tried to simply plug in the iPad into the computer and drag your files to it? Been doing that for many many years.

I feel like this is a problem you made up.

I honestly don’t know anything about OSMV OSMC besides what I just read on their site.

Streaming services are gonna be an issue. I’m guessing you’re going to have to hope kodi addons are working. If you happen to find one that works, at best you will get 1080p, probably 720p depending on the service.

Everyone has their preferences. But ya just need to throw a Roku / Google / AppleTV behind it.

Audio/video ecosystem

Apple had wireless audio working by the late 2000s. The hardware still works today. Way ahead of everyone else. Hell those little Apple AirPort Expresses even had the ability to use digital or analog inputs on the same port. Playing audio throughout my house has been a non issue and something that has just always worked and couldn’t be found anywhere else at the time.

The appleTV was the first commercial streaming device to my knowledge to properly interface with the TV. ( Besides XBMC. ). It would adjust resolution and match framerate and give you a proper experience.m. Again, way ahead of the game and the only place to find the tech at the time. I still use ATVs today.

To be fair that’s where it ends these days. The iPhone brings it all together, but mostly leverage open source software like home assistant to bring new life into it and pull the tech out of the walled garden.

Everytime I’ve looked into it, it seemed like the technology just wasn’t there yet. I remember a few years ago Linus TT took a shot at it, but in the end suggested the technology (for non-commercial entities) just wasn’t in a comfortable spot yet.

I had a sever in my basement running proxmox ( actually ended up doing it all manually eventually ), with a windows gaming VM and handful of utility Linux servers in 2015? The only problem being Windows games using kernel level anti cheat.

I get it really comes down to GPU sharing and I think it’s doable on consumer GPUs now but I’m not sure about gaming. Honestly the tech has been here for a long time. But companies like NVIDIA held on forever to the GPU resource sharing features and kept it away from consumer cards.

I’m a bit older these days and have gone through many generations of hardware with a different setup. I keep two or more GFX cards on hand. Latest always goes to my workstation while last gen is thrown in my sever and used by all my docker containers. Then have an older Xeon with 24 bays that I use for storage.

Rocky is a solid choice.

Debian :)

Give Alpine Linux a shot.
