[Discord] <random_anon_cesar> Using dd with no post run verification
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <_.dominic> Didn't armbian always recommend using usbimager over etcher?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <random_anon_cesar> I believe they do. I used etcher for my setup & didn’t have an issue, but I guess some people do?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <tenkawa42> @random_anon_cesar Who said you can't do post run validation with dd?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <tenkawa42> Its quite easy actually
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <tenkawa42> It takes a bit of drive space but it can be done

[Discord] <Werner> I think it's not about that it isn't possible, more about that who really does? 😂

[Discord] <igorpec> etcher has a bug in decompression mechanism since a year or more
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> and its somehow related to the size of the image. minimal images can be flashed with success
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <efectn> I am not sure if vendor ones still have some advantages. Mainline satisfies all of my usecases
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <obi.wahn> I'm not fully on board with the conversation right now. Does the device's mainline kernel have hardware acceleration? That's one thing that keeps me using the vendor kernel on my NanoPi M6.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <efectn> I don't mean the kernel side, bootloader side
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <efectn> There are h264 and hevc decoding support on mainline kernel
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <efectn> There are h264 and hevc decoding support on mainline kernel which is wip
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <efectn> Nanopi m6 should be using mainline uboot anyway. I hadn't wanted to waste time with vendor one by the time i added support for that bosrd
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <obi.wahn> Yes? I use the NanoPi with Jellyfin. I saw that there were efforts to include decoding support, but I didn't know how far along it was.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <efectn> Yeah vendor kernel is still better for vpu stuff
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <obi.wahn> Thanks for the info. I guess I'll stick with it for now. Still, it's always exciting to see how things develop.

<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <efectn> Hmm it uses vendor one. I think i can migrate it
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <_.dominic> Kinda annoys me that the noble image doesn’t have the option to configure task bar. It always hides even if you bring your mouse close.
