      There’s a new RPi distro out that simulates the Windows XP GUI. You can learn more about it here:

      I was curious to see how MM2 would work with that OS so I downloaded and installed it onto a RPi 4 (required) and it all worked just fine.

              @sdetweil I thought about using your scripts since I’ve used them for other installs and they worked perfectly. Since I had no idea how this install would go, I thought I’d do it stepwise, manually, in hopes of spotting where in the installation things went wrong. As it turned out, it went smoothly. Just as an aside, this pseudo WindowsXP GUI for the RPi 4 is pretty cool!
