I’ve wanted to try MX Linux on a Raspberry Pi for a long time, but until recently there simply wasn’t an official way to install it. Now that that’s changed, it’s finally possible to see if this distribution is a good fit for the Pi. In this guide, I’ll show you how to get it…

I’ve tested quite a few Linux distributions on Raspberry Pi, and CentOS used to be an easy recommendation for anyone who wanted a stable, enterprise-style system. But now that CentOS has been discontinued, we’ve got to find an alternative. AlmaLinux is the one I’d seriously consider. AlmaLinux has been tested for the most recent Raspberry…

I’m not a big fan of Snaps on a regular Linux desktop, but I’ll admit they can make life easier. Raspberry Pi OS is fairly minimal, and installing software outside the default repositories can quickly become annoying. In this guide, I’ll show you how to install the Snap Store, then use it to find and…

I work on several coding projects at home, and there are plenty of times when I need to access them while I’m away. That sounds simple, but connecting back to your home network securely can quickly become more complicated than expected. Tailscale offers a much easier way to link your devices without dealing with a…

After spending years configuring Linux servers by hand, I was curious to see what YunoHost could do. It turns a Raspberry Pi into a self-hosting server in just a few minutes, making it easy to deploy applications like WordPress, Nextcloud, or Jellyfin. YunoHost is a Linux distribution designed for self-hosting. Once installed on a Raspberry…

If you’re using a Raspberry Pi to run multiple Docker containers, managing them can quickly get complicated. That’s where Portainer comes in! It allows you to organize and control your containers from a graphical web interface, simplifying the process. Portainer can be installed on a Raspberry Pi as a simple Docker container. Once started, the…

Do you have an extra display at home that sits in a corner? Now you can turn it into a fully customizable digital display with great features like weather updates, calendars (linked to your tasks), to-do lists, and much more using a Raspberry Pi and the DAKboard OS. DAKboard can be directly selected and flashed…

I’ve always wanted a simple, low-cost media server I could run 24/7, and Jellyfin on a Raspberry Pi seemed like the perfect match. It took a bit of setup, but once it was running, I was hooked. If you’re curious about how to get started, I’ll walk you through it! Jellyfin can be installed via…

Connecting to a Pi remotely has always been interesting. There are many solutions, but none are perfect (VNC is limited to a local network, TeamViewer is a commercial product, etc.). But I have good news! With Raspberry Pi Connect, we now have an easy way to connect to a Raspberry Pi from anywhere, using a…
