So right now I'm writing some code that targets Le Potato. It's a S905X. Powerful enough to do what I need. Some of the problems I'm running into are Linux related and poor design. For example, the audio infrastructure pops and cracks during application loads. The same code running on a modern Windows machine, exhibits none of this. Another annoying design problem is controlling the audio infrastructure using Pulse Audio. It won't work with root privileges. Windows dosen't exhibit this quirk either. I can't seem to get Linux and the desktop to actually operate headless. I can't get Linux to boot straight to a desktop without logging in. Again, my windows environment doesn't share this quirk. I keep running into nasty little quirks that frankly annoy me to the point, I may say fuck it and just use what works. Linux is great for some things, but a free OS may not always work out.
