Problems getting setup on Raspberry Pi Desktop (for PC and Mac)

Well, if you’re willing to retire it then you might not mind wiping it clean and installing ubuntu on it, Then install MM. Just a thought.
EDIT:
In other words, JUST ubuntu as your os
-
@mykle1 I will give that a try. It’s a very small computer, so would fit nicely in certain places. I appreciate your help, and I will take a look at your other post to see if I can give it one last shot.
-
Good luck mate. Let me know how you make out
-
@mykle1 Apparently this computer is so old, that Ubuntu 16 won’t install. Error: This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae cx8
-
@mykle1 I’m now installing Xubuntu 12.04. I’ll see how this goes, and let you know.
-
Well, ended up going with Ubuntu 10.10. It’s old as heck, but I’m going to use it as a dakboard. Thanks for the help guys.
-
So, no problems with node now? And MM is running on 10.10?
-
@mykle1 I decided to just run Dakboard VIA the Chromium browser on it. I’v got a couple of other computers that I am going to use for the other Magic Mirror. I have an old Pentium 4 Dell, that I put Linux Mint on, and it runs like a champ. Way better than the one I run on my Raspberry Pi3.
