Steev, I need your help I'm looking for help for MUST install stuff for my Raspberry Pi. I always just use Raspian play around with software I see on repo but I'm kinda getting bored of that. Could you (open to anyone else as well) recommend me stuff I should install




Thanks, unsuky.

Is there anything you want to do with it? Media center, home server, games, etc

Ok so

You probably have some old android phones just lying around, no?

Those can be turned into cheap WIFI-enabled cameras with the free app IP Webcam

Combine that with a Raspberry Pi running ZoneMinder and you got yourself a

        

        

                        

                

if you ssh into your pi a lot use tmux instead of screen

i also need to know what you're interested in, but i'm just gonna keep posting random stuff

ADOM for raspberry pi here:

And oh yeah this guy has been making good progress porting Android (with working GPU drivers) to the RPi

You can find builds for the Pi 3 here:

But beware of this evil guy Exton though. He has been charging $9 for his builds and all he had to do was type "make". Smh

poo poo just realized you can probably play wazhack on the pi now, but there's no free Android builds for the Pi 2 and I ain't got enough disk space to build it myself #scroogled

What id like to do is make it sort multi media emulator box games things of that nature. i ran retropie on rpi 2 but  the install went haywire and i never ran it again.

So I just have a few different sdcards with different OSes for different purposes.

For emulators I am using Lakka

It uses a lot of the same emulators as RetroPie (RetroArch mostly) so there's not much difference there, but is based on OpenELEC (minus the Kodi part) which has some benefits like:
* Read-only filesystem so a bad shutdown/power outage is unlikely to corrupt your sdcard
* Monolithic updates
* Fast boot (~10s)

It also uses the XMB-like frontend that's built into RetroArch instead of an external program like EmulationStation (which RetroPie uses) which I just see as an unnecessary layer


For media player I use LibreELEC. A lot of the OpenELEC devs were unhappy with how the project was run so they forked it and now we have LibreELEC!

Then I just have a sdcard with Raspbian which I use when I need random Linux server to test something on.

I'm going install lakka when i get the chance. emulatorstation interface i didnt like thats probably one of main reasons i didn't bother with retro pie again

Hi git-annex is a really cool way to sync files between your computers/usb drives/whatever that's NOT DROPBOX I am definitely going to dedicate a RPi to it.

Another cool use for is if you've got a heavily modded Steam game (e.g. SS2) and you don't want the Steam client to update and fetch it up. Just put the game in a git-annex repo, tag it, and when Steam fetchs it up you can just do:
git reset --hard tag_name
then your modded files are restored!
