Status of elementrary 7 for Raspberry Pi?
2 projects | /r/elementaryos | 30 May 2023

Cool. My goal in asking is to find out if there's anything I should know before trying to update the build script myself.. This is my first time trying to build an OS, so if I'm getting in way over my head, I'd definitely like to know that in advance.

From what I understand, OSTree-based images[0] are in progress and will remediate this.

can I resell Raspberry Pi's with eOS on them?

elementaryOS is licensed under GPLv3. You may absolutely sell hardware that comes with it pre-installed, so long as any modifications you have made to the software are also released under GPLv3. There are non-commercial licenses, but they are not free and open source.

Can't get 2020 MacBook Pro to boot ElementaryOS from an etched usb drive. Getting stuck after the kernel initializes but before the OS launches.

Sounds like it's probably a bug that you'll wanna report to the eOS developers. They prefer getting those on their GitHub Issues page if you have a GitHub account

What is the possibility of an OSTREE type image

Jólnir installer fails to load, kicks to login prompt. I haven't installed it or set a password yet...
1 project | /r/elementaryos | 6 Jan 2022

I’m not sure tbh. I generally stay away from Nvidia because of issues like this. It’s probably worth opening a new issue report and maybe someone else has access to this hardware https://github.com/elementary/os

To keep costs down, Keep an eye on local market place and classified sites for a cheapish gaming PC with an AMD card in it (RX’s 5700 / 5700xt / 5600xt / 6600xt / 6600). Look up the parts here on Reddit and https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ to see if people have problems or methods needed to make them work.
