Running into this issue with nixos and the mango pi bored currently lol

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

yeah I think I have an orange, a mango, a nanopi, and a couple entirely written in chinese that are different from each other. Just before reddit went senile I was planning on posting images to try to ID the unknown ones but I didn't and got busy with stuff less likely to be a dead end.

Can anyone confirm if it is indeed the case that you can't just put whatever os you want on these things, or if it is possible by jumping through some hoops that google would never show me in favour of showing me other shit that makes them more money?

Usually you need to patch some stuff as a lot of the hardware doesn’t have mainline support. For the mango pi I found this

https://github.com/boosterl/awesome-mango-pi-mq-pro

The nixos link there works but it’s a bit out dated

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
