Porting Ubuntu For Raspberry Pi 2 Just Got a Lot Easier (softpedia.com)
prisoninmate writes: Ubuntu Pi Flavour Maker is an open source tool, a shell script that lets anyone port any of the official or unofficial Ubuntu Linux flavors for the Raspberry Pi 2. Ubuntu Pi Flavour Maker is officially supported on the Ubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME flavors, and uses the traditional apt and dpkg package management systems from Debian GNU/Linux.
Dear White Man,
Money doesn't grow on trees. And, the Black Cock Worship Tumblr is growing. Naturally, we anticipate operating costs and hope to be able to meet them.
But, any amount you feel you are able to donate in support of our ongoing work will be most surely appreciated and put to very good use. Your contributions keep the Black Cock Worship Tumblr growing.
Show your support by making a donation today.
Thank you.

So we can now have multiple flavours of pi?
A race war is coming. The blacks will win and soon the entire white race will be held in sexual slavery. I am a lowly white boy who already understands his place: on his knees, in complete servitude of the master race. This blog is to help my fellow whites prep for an inevitable future of black cock worship.

1) UP SoC is Atom based x86 and far more powerful released in Feb 2016, no need to PORT to ARM, and this board will KICK Pi's ass

2) Desktop Environment on an SoC board? They are embedded and not desktops. Sure they can be but, just use a desktop then :) I think they need an entirely different environment for presentation and input (DE) more like EE, Embedded Environment :) A lot will run as headless (SSH in) low power always on boxes.
3) Windows IoT is on these, and again, better tools and support than.
Raspberry Pi is SLOW / OLD, UP SoC is kick ass, even Arduino (I know its more of a different niche market, for sensors and board I/O mostly) is even being dumped for Intel Galelio.
But the plus thing is, we got lots of SoC on the CHEAP!
UP SoC board is going to KICK RASPBERRY PI's ASS mostly due to horse power AND x86 (no porting to ARM required) :)

Except people are buyig the Pi because it's 1/3 the cost of that board.
This is merely a packaging tool. This is not porting; the images are created from already ported code.
Sure, the tool may be useful; but call a spade a spade, not an automatic garden restructuring device.

Does it support Ubuntu Satanic Edition, too?
My first program:
Hell Segmentation fault

Windows 10 IoT is awesome. With Windows 10 IoT, I can run Halo in full HD on a $35 Raspberry Pi 2, plus all the other thousands of games available for Windows!
That is what I was wondering. The default distribution that R-Pi comes w/ is Debian, so it already has the distro on which Ubuntu is derived. Is the issue here porting the likes of Mir onto the platform, as opposed to X11?
But I doubt that Windows IoT will go anywhere
No, you can't! Windows IoT is like Windows RT - it's there just for ARM. This platform would get the same reception like Windows NT on RISC platforms some 20 years ago
Liar! Windows is Windows, all Windows games run on ALL Windows! See that Xbox app on Windows Phone? Bam, all Xbox games right on a $29 Lumia! You're just mad because you spent $800 on an iPhone that doesn't have Xbox.
I wonder how awful GNOME3/KDE are on the poor little Pi2, with only 1GB of RAM and a slow CPU. They might not even work without a full OpenGL implementation (with the Pi and almost all other ARM devices only supporting GLES).
> Windows IoT is like Windows RT
No. Windows IoT doesn't even have the launcher or explorer. There is nothing to select apps, it can only run the one UWP app that the boot sequence specifies.
This is almost cool.
The R-Pi is a nice little machine.
not too powerful to challenge the big guys.
not too worthless to be uninteresting.
Sufficiently interesting at all levels from bootstrap to random ABI changes to OS
development to web servers to learn almost any programming language.
Vastly more interesting than a multi million dollar CDC 6400 or other
machines from the 60's like IBM 1401 or PDP8.
Way more powerful than a Kim-1 or an Apple I or II.
This may make the Pi funner still.
Yes I am a fan of Pumpkin Pie.

From techopedia -> "Definition - What does Porting mean? : Porting is the process of adapting software in an environment for which it was not originally written or intended to execute in. What Ubuntu Pi Flovour Maker does is Packaging. n which individual files or resources are packed together as a software collection that provides certain functionality as part of a larger system Title is misleading.
Windows IoT > /dev/null
That is b'cos SOME Microsoft apps are Universal, and therefore run on all platforms. But the vast majority of games written by other vendors would be very platform specific. There is nothing magical about the Windows architecture in the way of a Java Dalvik that enables apps to run agnostically on all CPUs.
Besides, who exactly wants to get a R-Pi to just play games? These are kits to make simple, embedded applications to make something useful. Like controlling your garage door opener, or things like that. That sort of thing can be controlled from any app written appropriately from any platform - iOS, Android or Windows 10 Mobile
This is the newer Raspberry Pi 2, not the original A/B/A+/B+ flavors of the Raspberry Pi or the new $5 Pi0, which use an earlier ARM version than the Pi2.
