<div dir="ltr">So I'm really bored today and recently
discovered that the Raspbian Imager can create an SD card
with Ubuntu 20.04 either 32 or 64 bits.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Turns out it's the server version, no desktop
environment.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I thought why not try to install mythfrontend on it.
I first tried mythtv-light and it would not install due
to some dependencies. So then I tried:</div>
<div>sudo apt install mythtv-mythfrontend; which did
install. I rebooted and noticed that it had installed a
limited ubuntu desktop with just a few apps including
mythfrontend.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I ran it and it worked. I picked the same audio
I'd pick for the raspbian version and for Video, I
didn't see MMAL, so I picked V4L2 and set up to do
standard, 4 CPUs and opengl.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm surprised that it worked. The video isn't bad
particularly since I'm running mythfrontend on top of a
desktop environment. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried setting the default boot to multi-user and
rebooting without a desktop but I couldn't get
mythfrontend to run using:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>QT_QPA_EGLFS_ALWAYS_SET_MODE="1"
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=eglfs mythfrontend</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It couldn't find a drm device or something.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also it ran the mythfrontend version from March while
the x86_64 version is up to an August version.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyway it's interesting what I've stumbled on. </div>

recommend loading Android on it - Lineage OS has a port for
