About this deal

Operating system (OS) options for the ROC-RK3328-CC include Ubuntu, Debian, Armbian, OpenMediaVault, Android, and Station OS. It's easy to make a basic Linux mini PC, as well as an Android desktop. Using the Android 7.1 image or Station OS, an Android-based distro for the Libre Computer Renegade, you can make your own home theatre PC (HTPC) and game console. With OpenMediaVault, you can make your own file and media server. Plus, you can cobble together a do-it-yourself Spotify or Netflix with the likes of Plex on the Libre Computer Renegade. read -n 1 -p "Modifications complete. Press any key to shutdown. Once the green LED stops blinking and turns off for 10 seconds, remove power and move the MicroSD card to the Libre Computer Board." Great question! So believe it or not the “Le Potato” supports 4K video. It has a penta-core GPU. Here’s the specs:

We did have trouble with the XFCE desktop version of Armbian at the time. Neither of us were using the official Libre Computers images though like from here.After moaning about software support on some of the previous single-board computers I’ve worked with, being able to see options like these portability/wiring tools and the commitment to supporting and offering mainstream Linux builds for all of their boards is honestly so refreshing. I’ve actually covered this utility in a full article here. It’s really easy to use and the Renegade is supported! The latest Raspbian images are different than before. There is no longer a pi user. See a full list of changes on Raspbian release notes. You can use Raspberry Pi Imager to perform this setup through the GUI on first boot or you can pre-configure the image by adding files in the first partition (/boot/efi):

Similarly, hardware support dictates the SBC experience. Since the Libre Computer Renegade comes in a similar form factor to the Raspberry Pi 3, there are tons of Libre Computer ROC-Rk3328-CC case options. The only difference is the Libre Computer features three USB ports to the Raspberry Pi 3's four USB hosts. Still, that doesn't hamper use. I suggest the LoveRPi Active Cooling Media Center case, though any should be fine. It’s absolutely theoretically possible to do this manually. Look at the source code for the script for Libre’s tool here:Only 1 USB 3.0 port is available (but using a hub and other available board connections is possible) Now you may be curious what kind of performance we can get using a SSD via the USB 3.0 port. I was too. Here is a benchmark using a SSD: Category Test Result
