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... #raspberrypi #linux

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.... #raspberrypi #linux

If you’re planning to use your Raspberry Pi as a media server, the good news is that you have many software choices. If you’re trying to decide between Plex and Jellyfin to watch movies and TV, let me compare these two for you and share my... #raspberrypi #linux

I’ve managed access points for years as a sysadmin, and once you have 10+ devices connected, it can quickly become a nightmare. UniFi solved that problem for us, but its dedicated gateways can be expensive. The good news is that a Raspberry Pi... #raspberrypi #linux
