#cixp1 — Public Fediverse posts

So it begins...

I'd never thought a small ARM machine for ~600€ could be a good deal... that was before the RAMPocalypse...

The Minisforum MS-R1 comes with 64GB LPDDR5 ECC RAM.
Thankfully I still had a spare KingSpec XG7000 2TB m.2 NVME SSD

The CIX P1 CP8180 CPU is very new and Kernel upstreaming started in ernest with 2.6.19 but mainline is far from useable and the Debian Bookworm image that Minisforum provides is... a bit old.

However Ubuntu has a working Image
of 26.06 LTS that I used to install my machine with.

Working 10Gbit Ethernet and Wifi is nice.

Chimera Linux sits happily in a QEMU/KVM running on the same machine.

Next step: get the needed bits into Chimera but not while it's so hot around here.
