suggestions for ssd install
|
Good day,
I just picked up a Kingston 240gb ssd and I'd like to make it my primary default drive. Any comments on which OS I should use? I have narrowed it down to a few:
I find that Manjaro 64 bit is a pretty good running OS, however, being ARCH I question whether the Amateur Radio software will be available and current. Any comments or suggestions would be welcomed, -- Jay WB2QQJ |

have you looked at ham-pi? it's all in one? current version is 1.5, but he is working on a new version (2.0) that will be based on the latest PiOS Bullseye. On Thu, Dec 16, 2021 at 12:43 PM Jay Lijoi <lijoi@...> wrote: Good day, |
开云体育Hello Jay, You will get, by far, the best hardware support for Raspberry Pi hardware is via Raspberry Pi OS.? The 32bit version is the only fully supported version as the 64bit version is still in beta.? Some applications can run faster on the 64bit version but it's pretty small increase but at a substantial increase in memory usage. To your final question around pre-built amateur radio application availability.. the answer "depends".? Debian based distributions (Raspberry Pi OS, etc) have a large number of packages but many of them can be rather OLD.? That's the distibution's fault.. not the program developer's issue.? Maybe the version of a program does or doesn't matter to you.? You ultimately will have to look at what applications you want to run and then check to see what versions the different distributions offer.? You can always compile and install the new version of the applications yourself and it can be quite easy with a little practice. --David KI6ZHD On 12/16/2021 12:43 PM, Jay Lijoi

OK, I decided to go with the latest official Raspberry PI OS release, Bullseye.
As for software, I have used Ham-PI? for over a year and it has served me well. Ham-PI is great for getting started, however, it doesn't handle the issue of software updates (at least not well in my opinion). That is no fault of Ham-PI, but more related to Linux. When I want to update a package installed by Ham-PI I have to figure out where the files have been placed. I do like knowing where everything is (probably more OCD than anything else :-) I have been following Build-a-PI for some time and, although it appears much more flexible than Ham-Pi, I question whether it will lead to a similar dependency. It is however still in the running. ?David Ranch, I am not adverse to compiling my own, however, my experience has not been stellar with rolling my own. I spent a lot of time compiling WSJTX on my Chromebook and although it worked, there were so many missing dependencies that it never worked completely. In that case I sucked it up and I am currently running version 2.3. Interesting point; WSJTX only had version 2.2 in Buster, so I upgraded Chromebook to Bullseye and then 2.3 was there. (2.2 was the version they discontinued and is no longer compatible)? Thank you to everyone that replied! -- Jay WB2QQJ |
