[Member PDP-8]

For you Raspberry Pi fans:

The TinyCore / dCore / piCore team near and dear to my heart, has made a new release, which covers all the boards:

==================

Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce the release of piCore-11.0:

http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv7/releases/RPi/
http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv7l/releases/RPi/

There is only one SD card image, it supports all RPi boards, including RPi3+ and RPi4.

Please read README and don't forget to expand the mmcblk0p2 partition according to your needs to make room for persistent data and installed applications.

For support visit http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/board,57.0.html

I also see some preliminary testing of the Vulkan driver too.

Lots of SBC distros out there, but if you are a hands-on type, piCore is always appealing. Don’t forget to expand your initial partition!
