raspberry-pi alternatives

Just wondering if it is possible to run the MM on this Banana Pi or on this ASUS Tinker Board and if any one tried that with good or bad results?

If there is a nodejs version around, the MM will run. Not out of the box, but it will

Ok than i have to check it is any Nodejs for any of them as i got this two just lying around and collecting dust :)

@Mykle1 I have it on my working laptop (ie Win10) - slight pain, since I have to launch MM & it runs in a console in the background, so I regularly worry what that is :) I dumped it onto an old laptop (which actually works with Ubuntu!) & that headache is gone… Now I just glance over into the corner & know what I am working on (i LOVE Wunderlist). So it does work on Win10 and Ubuntu.

Good luck

Yes, thanks. And as of this very moment, I can confirm that an old Compaq Presario CQ57 laptop, with a fresh install of uBuntu 16.04 LTS, is running MagicMirror 2 without a hitch. And, more importantly, it’s running MMM-NFL and MMM-Voice for voice control of the module. Voice control was the important factor for me as it’s the only way to access almost all of the features on MMM-NFL As a super deluxe and surprising added benefit to the whole thing, MMM-Voice recognized, and is using, the built-in microphone of the laptop.

I’m dancing on air right now. This NFL machine is going to be a gift to my son-in-law who loves NFL football and Fantasy Football. I’m sure he’s going to love it and be the envy of all his friends.

@cowboysdude > I would format the laptop and install Unbuntu and run MM on that

Great peace of advice bro!
