    @Mykle1 I tested two Mainboards, because ubuntu doesn’t recognize the realtek chips. Also I rotated the screen within the ubuntu options. But, thanks for your input. Who knows, if I’ll switch again ;).

      I did not know that. Are you choosing "install 3rd party drivers during installation? This is what I do know. I’ve installed ubuntu 16.04 on a 32 bit MacBook (2006), a Compaq Presario CQ57 laptop, a Dell 1505 laptop, an HP Pavilion a6130n desktop and an HPE i7 Quad core desktop. All are problem free. All are running MMM-voice and Hello-Lucy. All drivers were installed automatically with ubuntu. All microphones work, all sound out works, all bluetooth works. I didn’t do anything special. I just installed and it works.

      I’ll ask my friend who is running an mini itx board if he has any insight on this. He is running ubuntu and Hello-Lucy without a hitch.

        @Mykle1 A good point. I didn’t choose that 3rd party option. Perhaps there are some better graphic drivers, too. I think I’ll create a windows backup and give ubuntu a 3rd chance :-D. Using ubuntu mate shouldn’t be a problem? I like that interface a little bit more. If it doesn’t work again, I’ll make the windows recovery and try to tweak that.

        Another option for voice would be an alexa skill an module. So I can use alexa for the input trigger.

          Personally, I wouldn’t care which version name or number, as long as it’s stable and MM resides there happily.

          Cool. Keep me posted.

                walkthrough

                I’m a Windows 10 user & your MagicMirror Walkthrough was wonderful. Worked perfectly the first run. I have been on youtube for a month or so watching other with work with MM. I would like to expand on whats was given but this is a great start.

                Thanks for sharing your walkthrough. Incredibly easy to follow!

                    Made it with ubuntu. I didn’t use the java-scripted marquee fx anymore, changed it to CSS3 transitions :) - no problems there. Also the 3rd party option works very well. Now, my realtek soundcard detects my microphone. So I don’t have to use my USB mic (latency is horrible - 4-5seconds!! - with my 3,5mm pawl mic ~0,3seconds). I’m using MMM-voice with your Lucy (slightly modified) ;).

                    So thank you very much Mykle1! Any recommendations for a small 3,5mm pawl mic? Actually, I tested it with a headset mic. But it doesn’t recognize me so good, if I’m 0,5m away.

                      Excellent. I suspected the drivers were the problem. :-)

                      Yes, the whole latency thing was a bother to me. The difference in response time using a USB microphone is horrible, as you found out.

                      I purchased this microphone when I was first working on Lucy because it was inexpensive. It works really well in a quiet environment, with a 99% success rate within 50 inches. I haven’t tested it at long distance.
