SFF PC instead of PI2?

ScotsFrog · Jan 27, 2019, 7:53 PM

Just did my first MagicMirror, but find the PI2 bit slow, can I use a SFF PC install Linux on it and use that instead, if so what version would be best so I could use the commands and modules same as the PI, looking to integrate Google Assistant into it as well, already have a SFF PC, just trying to save money and learn

Thanks Steve

Seeing as you already have the SFF PC (never heard of them) you can try installing ubuntu on it. I would recommend ubuntu 16.04LTS, fully updated (that’s all I use). Then a manual installation of MM. You can’t use the installer script. Really, you have nothing to lose.
