I really want a mnt computer device, but ultimately I think I need more #linux distro support before I feel comfortable dropping the cash. I dig the philosophy, & vibe. Seems like my kind of scene. But Debian Unstable as the only supported linux image, is kinda a dealbreaker. #mnt #mnt reform

I run Debian Stable on mine, with a few packages from reform.debian.net/ if that makes any difference? :)

@vagrantc How "stable", is your experience using Debian stable on it?

The stability promises of stable are that packages will only receive fixes for security or major breakages, and not major changes.

It is not a firehose of new upstream versions, but a trickle of small fixes.

So on the not much different from any other Debian stable system.

That said, I have decades of experience with Debian, so not sure I am the best advocate for someone less familiar!

I did create my own custom barebones image, for example...

Well, not much different with running Debian stable on the mnt/reform. I have used both the original imx8mq module and the new rk3588 module.

Sometimes the mnt/reform specific kernel updates lag behind Debian a bit, but the vast majority of stuff is just directly from Debian, and most of the stuff from mnt/reform does not change too much.
