+Title: Raspberry Pi Speedrun (PiTop testing 2)
+Authors: Aoi Koizumi <novaburst@dimension.sh>
+Topics: Computing
+
+I've recently got a microSD card for my PiTop and once again started
+fucking up the board with a variety of distros/operating systems, often
+returning to Raspbian since every other system broke or didn't work well
+on its own ways. For instance, I've first tried FreeBSD and turns out it
+doesn't support the onboard Wi-Fi module because of Broadcom straight up
+not supporting *BSD. Later I've managed to install Alpine Linux on it,
+but my user shell broke[1] after a couple updates, then afterwards I
+reinstalled it, same result. Then I went with Arch Linux ARM, it was a
+big nope, since I don't have neither a serial console nor Ethernet
+connection, thus frustrating me on getting it to work. I have put
+Raspbian on it again, which lasted for a couple days until I fucked
+it up (whether it was on purpose or not is yet unknown). Today I sort of
+installed Void Linux on it, but it became useless after an update that
+had to be done anyway which made the Wi-Fi go poof. Once again I tried
+Arch Linux ARM, this time with cmdline.txt tricks, big nope anyway. Up
+next is OpenSUSE Leap, I'll see how it comes...

+Shoot, OpenSUSE showed the bootloader menu just fine, but then
+everything went moot, so I guess I'll just give up on the whole thing
+and put Raspbian yet again, although not the one with the desktop, as I
+plan to repurpose it as a tiny home server.

+Damage caused to the microSD card: Any% (it's a miracle it didn't die
+after too much read/writes, lol)
