      Hi, I want to build a MM with my 11 years old son. A lot to learn and explore. I’m located in Canada and those Pi are nowhere to be found online. The 2 official Pi online Canadian resellers are BO… Ohhh, yes I can find some at 300-500 price range. I’m sure the regular prices are not that high.

      Can someone pinpoint me in the right direction to start this awesome project?

      Thanks

        @Toeblake They’re nigh on impossible to purchase right now outside of ebay etc at scalpers rates. The good news is MM doesn’t necessarily need to be run on a Pi; there’s both other SOC boards or even older x86 hardware that would do the job even if it were only temporary, until supply improves.

                I’m another one running on something other than a Pi.

                I’ve got a Xubuntu based media server, and it runs MM as well as the media centre software. I use an old Android tablet with a kiosk app to display the mirror around the house. The kiosk app lets the tablet load directly to a browser, set to the MM address :)

                Please forgive me if I'm slow to reply, I'm currently experiencing memory issues, and sometimes forget that I've asked a question >.<

                        Do you think a thinclient would be able to handle MagicMirror or at least debian bullseye?
