I watched that with interest and ordered another Pi 4. Think that means I have an addicition lol

I have that running here on an RPi 400, running the excellent PlanePlotter Windows software:

Check "leepspvideo" and "Jeff Geerling" on Youtube. They have almost daily Raspberry videos

When do you think the Pi 5 will be out?

Tomorrow because you just bought a 4, or in many years because I'm holding off buying another pi until the 5 comes out.

Ha! YouTuber Jeff Geerling alluded to a possible Pi 4+ or 5 in his recent review video of the new PoE+ HAT (which he doesn't recommend). I don't think it was inside info though, just some speculation about a possible use case for that PoE+ board.

Shirley, apart from making it easier to power camera-equipped RPis in birdboxes badger setts, eagle nests, etc. their main use would be to simplify wiring in an RPI4-based Beowulf system.

The original HAT is good for that. Watch the video.

And/or see

I like Twister... but its main feature is box86, so you can run x86 Linux apps on a Raspberry Pi.

I still think Rasberry Pi OS runs better on the Pi... and you can install a few apps to get some of the features of Twister. IMO, add Commander Pi, Pi Apps, Pi-KISS and any theming you want and most users would be better served.

I think a lot of Twister users DON'T use the box86 functions - not saying that you don't, and not saying that Twister is no good. Just mentioning that most of the oooooohh's and ahhhhhh's of Twister is just the add-ons they have installed.

I do like the Win10 theme, but... I just popped it into my Raspberry Pi OS setup. Anyway, just food for thought. Glad you like it - I do have a Twister OS SD Card. For running x86 games.

That sounds right either way. I hope they hold off as I want to get a display for my Volumio box

I am still waiting for the release of the case and HDD mobo to connect to the Pi4B to be available as I am running similar for the 3B+.

Hopefully they will get back in to producing it - Covid19 allowed.

I never got around to using that mobo, I tend to use slim factor PCs for stuff that handle extra HD
