I’m having problems at home right now. I can’t take the usb from one RPi4 to the other, apparently it doesn’t work even if it’s the same hardware. "/ and I can’t use the same RPi4 in another case, because the one I use has some extra features that the other hasn’t, so it’s not registered.
So I thought, why not install something newer on the other then and start to copy over files to that system from the old one, that might work… OR NOT. It’s older files, and doesn’t work with new updates of the applications it’s used for. So I have a big problem here. I thought why can’t Linux have it’s base install and the application in boxes that can be copied and applied to another computer?=! It would be so damn simple. "/
The only thing I can think of is if I install the applications in a virtualbox environment, and save the file for later use, but then again, it’s going to use more resources then a Raspberry Pi can handle. What am I supposed to do?! My stationary computer is basically always on, so it could act as a server, but I don’t have any space left on it, and I thought, well, I could reinstall it with linux on it and just install the things that I need to use as a background application, maybe that would be a good thing, but then again, if something happens, I’ll have to reinstall everything again. So maybe I could create a VM after all… Seems to be the best alternative, but how many cores to I have to dedicate for a terminal based ubuntu installation? The Raspberry Pi 4 was kind of fast enough for one bot, but then later on I had six bots on it and it can without any problems handle a couple of info bots, but when it comes to command bots…
I really hate this. When I’m on Linux, I want to play, and then there’s some game that seems fun, but then I want to stream at the same time and I don’t use OBS, I use SLOBS, which does not work in Linux yet, since they prioratized MAC… "/ So I end up sticking to windows. "/ When I’m on linux, I want to windows, when I’m on windows I want onto LInux… "/
Anyway, I need an easy way to handle my bots, so easy that when I reinstall the computer, I don’t have to reinstall the bots, but just start them easy. I don’t want to waste time with the reinstall and configurations and error messages.
