I'm talking about the foundation's total picture, obviously.
The Pi isn't mainstream hardware, is it?
Their total picture includes OS distribution and support that eclipses all the other mini-SBC-type ARM machines.
Ubuntu has a mainstream distribution supported by the Pi Imager, and it should support sound, if you have the right boot parameters set?
(edit: not sure this supports as far back as the 2B; I might have to test that)
- IntelMiner 5y agoThe Pi is a lot less "weird" than a lot of the hardware the mainline kernel does support Wanna run Linux on a Sega Dreamcast? (game console from 1998) Well there's a dreamcast_defconfig in the mainline kernel still https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/sh/configs/dreamcast_defconfig https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/sh/config... How about a Nintendo 64 from 1996? Someone sat down and hacked that out too! https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mips/20201225190503.12353218812e1655f56f0bf8@gmx.com/T/#m0862c3484e0da7195dc8989421d30f01b3b1c63a https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mips/20201225190503.1235321881... Or for more recent examples. How about some ancient routers? https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.17-MIPS https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.... These are bits of hardware added by hobbyists or small teams. The Raspberry Pi foundation is a company with paid developers supporting a set of devices you could count on one hand (or two if you include every variant separately)
