Here are some pictures, running DietPi-Cloudshell on Hardkernel Odroid-C1+,RPi B+ and RPi 3:


But it is as well possible, to run the “Classic Pi-Hole Real-time Monitor” on this displays:

root@RPi-PiHole-LCD:~# clear > /dev/tty1
root@RPi-PiHole-LCD:~# chronometer.sh > /dev/tty1

Fourdee also tested X11 working on RPi fbdev with touchscreen (stylus) support:


You don’t own a supported Display at the moment? Your device is currently not supported?
No problem, you can use Dietpi-Cloudshell with a cheap/old android phone or tablet via USB connection as well:

Have fun with your displays and DietPi.
