Thin clients are typically PC based systems which are often outphased due to their limited resources compared to the actual needs, e.g. in Windows environments. This thin client hardware can be re-used in a kind of a “second life” to serve as a Linux hardware. Especially, DietPi with its lightweight approach is a good choice […]

This blog post gives an overview about what can actually be done with a system consisting of the brand new RISC-V single board computer VisionFive 2 from StarFive. The article will be updated whenever new insights and findings are present.

An Apple Mac mini is a robust and stable PC based hardware with a low power consumption which can be used to install DietPi. Compared to Raspberry Pi SBCs, the PC based hardware gives enough options for larger memory, higher computational power and built in storage options.This blog described how DietPi is installed on this […]
