Here we go, converting my win10 beast to linux
Linux Journey
Summary
Switched from Windows to Linux due to privacy concerns and the need for more control over the system. Used Ubuntu for drone build and found Mint Linux to be the most user-friendly for daily use.
Key Points
- Started with Ubuntu and Gnome for drone build.
- Tried Kubuntu but found it unsatisfactory.
- Mint Linux became the daily driver due to its smooth operation and extensive support community.
- Avoiding Microsoft and Google due to privacy concerns.
- Use Macs for video editing but prefer Linux for development and security reasons.
Setting Up iPhone on Linux
Steps
1. Install `libimobiledevice`: ```bash sudo apt install libimobiledevice6 libimobiledevice-utils ``` 2. Pair iPhone: ```bash idevicepair pair ``` 3. Start `usbmuxd`: ```bash usbmuxd -f -v ```
Notes
- Ensure iPhone trusts the computer by accepting the prompt on the phone.
Raspberry Pi Setup
Overview
Installed Ubuntu and Pi OS on Raspberry Pi as daily drivers.
Steps
- Follow online tutorials and use a cheat sheet for commands.
- Focus on learning
makeand understanding the file structure.
Notes
- Chuck, a teacher on Google Video, is recommended for learning resources.
Drone Build with Linux
Overview
Used Linux for a drone build due to hardware requirements.
Parts
- Flight computer
- Image processors
Steps
1. Installed Linux on the drone controller. 2. Configured ADB and got the flight computer to communicate. 3. Worked on CANBUS for robotics projects. 4. Used PX4 flight computer for further development.
Notes
- The process was challenging but led to the discovery of Mint Linux as a preferred OS.
CNC Machines and Linux
Overview
Currently using Windows for CNC machines but exploring Linux alternatives.
Notes
- Arduino-controlled machines and Cura run well on Linux.
- Free CAD software is available, promoting open-source solutions for machine operation.
