Debian is very nice these days if you don't mind a tiny bit of enabling non-free repos. Or Pop OS for a more It Just Works approach, if their desktop suits you

- amelius 4y agoRight now I'm stuck with nVidia's Jetson line of products which is vendor-locked to Ubuntu. The problem is that while you can extend them with a large SSD drive, these products have a really small disk used for /. I could run another OS inside a Docker container, all to avoid this limitation in snap, but of course things will not become prettier.
- Y_Y 4y agoYou've been able to run the root on (nvme) SSD for a while now with Dusty's scripts, and more recently with the official installer. I have great sympathy though, I am also using Ubuntu on Jetson and resent snap, especially since the new releases are 20.04 which have it more tightly integrated.
- lgeek 4y agoYou can change the root parameter in extlinux.conf to point to whatever block storage you want it to Or reconfigure U-Boot to load extlinux.conf (and the kernel image, initrd, etc) entirely from other type of media. IIRC NVMe, USB and external SDs are all supported
- amelius 4y agoThanks, I'll have to look into it.
