I've done the first steps to get my SBC in the bootstrap.
Before bootstrapping the machine I first oriented myself to what I got. I photographed everything and I was amazed at the Simplicity of the GPIO. I love the fact that this SBC was actually produced in Great Britain. I dislike the fact that I could not get the 16 GB one because those ste still not produced in proper volumes
I love the fact that the system is now 64 bits.
The first step was easy just take the USB-C power supply and fire it up.
Since I have a very nice set of possibilities in USB-C to power the Pi up, I just chose one of them. No video output was needed. The machine has a combo LED which goes from Red to Green and I also have a Pi case which has a nice cooling fan for the CPU. When power is applied to the system the LED goes from Red to Green and the fan starts running about 2 seconds afterwards.
Today I took a couple of other steps. I connected a UTP network cable to the machine, which is mapped to one of my routing systems.
Then I got at least one micro HDMI output working. That was an easy step, I just need to to buy a micro HDMI to HDMI cable, USD 12 for 90cm length of cable.
With just Power Connected to my USB-C multi device which has a Power pass through, and my HDMI port 0 chained to one of my IPS LED displays, I fired up the machine again. I got a nice Little logo and I got a diagnostic screen telling me what is connected to the SBC.
When I connected a USB keyboard a very nice Splash appeared at the next boot. I was then also invited to connect the UTP cable so that the machine itself could get an image of the Operating System and write that to the micro SD card that I had inserted also.
The look is quite polished very nice and very easy. Of course I pressed Escape so that I could see the diagnostic screen again but you understand that.
After that I purchased some internet bandwidth so that I could do an actual installation.
Then I read on the Raspberry Pi website that Debian is used as the main operating system. That is from me very very nice because I just love anything Debian when it comes down to Linux.
Currently I'm at the step where I have already written the image, not the microSD card but a USB Stick which has ventoy running the imaging show. I will stick into one of the USB 3 ports on the machine and then do another post.
There's one snafu
My Ventoy is compiled for X86, the Raspberry Pi is an ARM system. It shall not be able to boot the Ventoy image manager.
So all I will be able to see, is that the machine actually seeks the USB stick, it recognizes the stick and then the post will stop.
I have the Raspberry Pi imaging software for Linux x86 which can write to a stick but it wants to WIPE the WHOLE stick.
This means I will have to take my small 16 gig stick, back up the data, and then wipe it just to see that my single board computer starts and then install the operating system on the MicroSD card that I have for it
This is my current plan van aanpak NL

If you’re on Linux, there’s a good chance you use GNOME: it’s the default experience across Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora Workstation, Endless OS, and more. If you’re on another desktop, you still likely use components developed by GNOME contributors—or maybe you get apps from Flathub.
Want to become more than just a user? How about… a friend? 🥺 Become a Friend of GNOME to support GNOME, Flathub, and the work we do!

Tips on how to be more productive with #KDE
- Panel Widgets
- Virtual Desktops with Pager Widget
- KDE Activities
- Window Rules
- KRunner
- Pinning System Interface Elements
- Screen Edges
- System-Wide Keyboard Shortcuts
- KDE Connect
Some of the tips are fairly basic, and many of them are not gone over in great detail or depth, but it seems like a great starting point for people who may be new to the KDE/Plasma Desktop Environment

Acabei de fazer um commit pra melhorar a experiência no Caderninho do Fiado, ajustando as mensagens do sistema pra usar corretamente singular e plural ao tratar de dívidas. Agora, quando clientes tem apenas uma dívida ativa, a mensagem aparece no singular (ex: "1 dívida ativa"), e no plural quando há múltiplas dívidas. Pequenos detalhes fazem toda a diferença na comunicação clara com quem usa o sistema. #OpenSource #UX #DesenvolvimentoWeb #JavaScript
