We are ready to offer a Bountysource donation to Armbian
@amazingfate Do you know if its possible to use tha latest mali blob with wayland and vulkan support (g24p0-wayland-gbm) and at the same time use the rkmpp on vendor 6.1.115? I got everything compiled and seemingly working but when I try to connect to a stream, all I see is black screen. This is with the moonlight-qt client and an orange pi 5 plus (rk3588) -

Rock5B+ 25.5 image is broken
I burned the image with Balena Etcher and verified it. After the first attempt it did not boot. Downloaded and burned the image a second time on a different SD card, again not booting. The green light on the board stays on. I'm a fan of Armbian. Never had issues on my RPI5. I hoped this new powerfull SBC would be the same but no, Armbian is not working and the RADXA OS also is giving me lots of problems. Sorry to say, I'm a little dissapointed... Ernst-Jan -

Where to Start
With the errant icon, yeah that kind of thing can be really frustrating with linux design. I'm not that deeply familiar with it. Usually when I experience something like that, I look it up in a search engine. What I can say is that many settings are stored in hidden directories under the user home folder. Hidden files start with a period. Go to your home directory: ls -la ...but which one to explore and what to look for... You'll probably find what you're looking for with a search engine. And on your rant, yes I've sensed our views of the computing world to be similar as well. Punching holes in cards - yes! You really would have to think and get it right the first time. And it's not so hard to do. You set the standard, practice it and make it a habit. My second computer was a Commodore 64, back in the early-mid '80s. I played lots of games on there. Even though I'd started programming in BASIC before that, I learned more to program on that computer, in BASIC, and in assembly language. I experienced from others' software and what I could do on my own, to be resourceful, and that creating software that is highly functional and can do "a lot" really doesn't require much more than a tiny program. There's no excuse for complicated software. Also others and myself created it right the first time without any "patches" or "software updates" BS - once it was done, it was done right! I almost never encountered bugs from others' software on my C64. I think there was one game than had bugs in it - that's it, it was an outlier. But that computer, you'd turn it on and get the prompt within maybe 200ms. There was no "boot up" BS. And its user interface is always immediately responsive. It was never sluggish. My first experience with the extremeness of bloating was with my first x86 PC around 1991 i think. It ran MS-DOS 5.0, which took up around 7 or 8 MB as I recall, on the hard drive (or was that Windows 3.1?). And to create an assembly language program that was just a "hello world", an executable .com of that would be around 30 bytes or so, but an executable .exe was around 784K or something crazy like that. 99% of that was .exe format overhead junk! And for today's operating systems and their functionality, there really is no excuse why the total size of the complete operating system on the hard drive should exceed a megabyte (or half that), let alone several gigabytes. The bloating of today is so far beyond reason it's way off in another galaxy. A minimum of 10,000 to 1. So much software today is based on scripting languages and run-time interpreters. Plus the linux operating system was originally designed back in the 1960s!!! ...as unix, before it was ported to personal computers as linux. Apparently, they've got layer upon layer upon layer of patches and changes and different ideas and outdated models all enmeshed in a galactic-sized mess. I've also seen how the MB, GB, and TB have been hijacked by a crooked industry which has redefined those terms to be powers of 1000 rather than the truth that they're powers of 1024. Even with that, the amount delivered on memory and storage devices, in may cases, falls short even of that crooked re-definition. Now an actual GB or MB is called "GiB" or "MiB", while what is often now called a MB or GB is a bold-faced lie! What the computer hardware and OS development needs is to throw away the existing model and create a new one from scratch. As a software engineer, I have done that numerous times on my own projects, and the result is always a spectacular improvement because I can apply what I learned from the previous iteration in developing the new foundation. And that's always a simple, creative and enjoyable process. It does take a some time to do, but the results are more than worth it, and the resulting accelerated pace of development later more than makes up for it. The Orange PI 5 Plus is my first ARM board. What I'm more looking forward to though is getting into RISC-V. I'm not to familiar with it yet, but It's completely open and apparently values simplicity. That might be a really great development environment for something genuinely new. -
