I purchased the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt dock for use in my studio, and after I’ve spent some time with it I decided to review it. This will be a short review (as it’s just a docking station) but for those of you looking for a docking station to use on a Linux notebook, then this might be a solution for you.
Imagine a future where your ultraportable notebook can morph into a gaming machine while docked at your desk. You don’t have to imagine it – it’s possible right now by utilizing an External GPU (eGPU). But unfortunately, Thunderbolt is a confusing pain. And many noteboook vendors are jerks. In the LearnLinuxTV guide to eGPU’s, this concept will be demystified, and you’ll learn everything you’ll need to know in order to use an External GPU.
HP has released a Linux notebook! No, we aren’t in an alternate dimension, the Dev One notebook from HP is here, and it’s powered by Pop!_OS! LearnLinuxTV’s coverage of the HP Dev One continues in this follow-up video to the original, where we’ll explore this Linux-powered computer even further. This time around, we’ll take a look at upgrading RAM, running other distributions, virtualization, and more!
Here’s a link to the RAM and screwdriver set I used (commission earned):
HP has released a Linux notebook! No, we aren’t in an alternate dimension, the Dev One notebook from HP is here, and it’s powered by Pop!_OS! LearnLinuxTV’s coverage of the HP Dev One begins with this video, where we’ll go over its specs, hardware, and much more. This is the best Linux notebook of 2022 so far, be sure not to miss it!
Recently, the new InfinityBook Pro 14 has found its way to the LearnLinuxTV studio. In this video, Jay gives the new 6th generation model a full review. This review will cover the build quality, performance, pricing, and more!
System76 has released a brand-new Linux laptop, which it claims to be a “multitasking concerto”. The brand-new 2022 Kudu features an AMD Ryzen CPU, Nvidia graphics, and even a removable battery! In this video, Jay reviews the new System76 Kudu and gives you his thoughts.
In this video, Jay provides a quick review of the Pico PC from XDO, which is the smallest Linux PC that’s ever been reviewed on the channel. The Pico PC claims to be ultra quiet and fully compatible with Linux. Check out this review and find out if the Pico PC lives up to its claims.
The Turing Pi 2 is quite an exciting project that might even be a game-changer when it comes to homelab. With it, you can set up Raspberry Pi Compute Modules as individual servers, and even cluster them! The Turing Pi 2 gives you access to many additional features that Compute Modules wouldn’t normally have access to, such as mPCIe, SATA, and more. This gives you access to build a data-center in a box, and Jay gives it a first-look on the channel in this video.
Tuxedo Computers sent over both the 15″ and 17″ versions of their new 3rd-gen Polaris notebook, and in this video I’ll review both! I’ll compare the two models side-by-side, and I’ll give you my thoughts.
The final version of the JingPad A1 has arrived at the LearnLinuxTV studio, and I’ll give you my thoughts on the finished product. The JingPad A1 claims to be the first consumer-ready Linux tablet, and I put it to the test in this video.
Home Assistant is a fantastic open-source solution for home automation. You can install it on a Raspberry Pi, a Virtual Machine, or on many other supported devices. In this video, I’ll review the “Blue”, which is a dedicated ODROID device with Home Assistant built in.
52pi sent their 19″ Raspberry Pi rack mount over to the studio, so as always I gave it a full review. In this video, I’ll talk about the pros and the cons so you can make a decision for yourself as far as if this product will fit your Pi-server use-case.
