I was thinking of buying a RaspPi 3Bplus and installing Mint on it, because I’m new at this whole Linux game. Reasoning is twofold.. ONE, i am getting into Ham radio, and once I’m licensed, I’d like to get a RIG and run it through it with the software for the HT radio… second, I’d like to put all my iPhone photos on the Raspberry Pi and remove them from my phone because I’m out of iCloud storage and I’m not purchasing any cloud from Apple. So, since I’m new to raspPI and Linux, do I just hook up a cable and transfer it over.. can anyone give me some tips if I need some additional software for this. I won’t be doing any editing, i just want to hold the 200ish photos of my kids that I can’t delete off my phone and never see again. Like I said, I’d be installing MINT, I’m not versed in LINUX, and I’m new at this, so “learning curve here” but I can catch on and I can figure things out. But I’d love some input from those that have done this before! I haven’t purchased one yet… oh, why am I buying a 3BPlus? The Ham community likes that model, it’s one that’s “in the middle price wise, does the job for HAM programs, runs clean for FLDigi, RTTY, RT-8 WSJT-X.. etc. works great with some budget choice transceivers I’m looking at… and with a powercord it runs about 60ish$… thanks for any input in advance!
Sweet! I’ve been kind of interested in building a pi-based tablet. That would be perfect. (Yes I know about the CutiePi, I’m not really into it for several reasons)
there's also the Raspad 3 which does have the downside of not offering official support for Pi5 (so you should probably at least try to limit power draw if you do use it with one).
Yeah, I want something in a more svelte package, more like a “normal” tablet, like an iPad.
I’m thinking maybe CM5, there are some low profile IO boards out there that can get the whole package down to 10mm thick, not including the screen. Though they are quite expensive.
Also looking into other options like a lattepanda Mu or OrangePi zero 3w, and some radxa sbc’s. Might be blasphemy to say that around here, but they are interesting options. But I cant find a low profile io board for the Mu, and the 3W might be a little underpowered. And it doesn’t seem like there are any good ways to get display out of the OPi or radxa boards besides hdmi.
If only raspberry pi just made a low profile 5. That would be great. Maybe I could cut off the usb-A and Ethernet ports, but that seems high risk considering how expensive pi’s are these days.
