A few years ago I turned a pine64 rock64 SBC into a kodi box, and saw immediate performance improvement over the stock Roku chip on my TCL TV when streaming from SMB. As always "better" becomes... ehhhhh I want more. I want to stick with an SBC because of power consumption on a box that I'm going to leave running 24/7. So my question is: What's the best price to video performance SBC out there?
Your problem may differ from mine, but whenever I’ve been greeted with the command line in grub the solution has actually been in bios. I’ll leave you with my notes, which are a bit snarky after spending a lot of time trying to figure out hot to repair grub, when the solution was 3 clicks in bios:
"Inspiron won’t boot
Goes to the grub command prompt
Don’t fuck with that thing
Restart, F2 to get into bios
Change boot sequence to start the SSD first, not ubuntu
Reboot, itll do it a couple times, but should boot right into normal grub"
I’m sorry, what?..Oh, all I heard was that my linux home server is going to be running on new hardware in about a year and a half when all these used computers go on sale. 😁
Dietpi is a nice little distro, especially when running it minimal without a GUI. Its added toolkits make farting around on the command line more comfortable
Can anyone help me pick out a budget friendly (sub $200) graphics card?
- Doesn't have to be current generation
- I won't be gaming at all on the PC
- Needs to run well on Linux
- Must run 3 monitors
- Biggest workout it will get is streaming security cams on one screen, full screen video on another.
- Power supply is only 295W and I'd rather not upgrade it.
Any help is much appreciated!

I hope your solution is the same
