Hi all.
I've made a new noob video on how to install Armbian on an SBC.
I also show how I set up my Armbian desktop. And I show how to install Armbian onto another media.

Greetings, NicoD

 

Thanks NicoD, I'm looking forward to watching it this evening!

how to install Armbian

You focus on the customization of the desktop, but way too little for the newbee on what to look for on the armbian download site !

This is where most stumble and could really need some guidance. For example https://www.armbian.com/pine-h64/ just below the download button you find information what maybe not working. Rock Pi4 seems to be perfect image , no drawbacks mentioned there. But there is the button Check other download options.. what is it there for and why?

 

In conclusion, I would make two Videos :

Install Armbian on an SBC - 1/2 how to download and install ( RockPi4B )

Install Armbian on an SBC - 2/2 Desktop Set up - Install to NVMe ( RockPi4B )

 

Last, but not least - you suggest several programs to install, why not place the code in the comment section of the video:

sudo apt install  mate-config  and so on.

 

Reading the comment section - people who watched it mostly appreciate your tipps for customization of XFCE... while for this you probably find 10-40 videos.

 

I don't want to be negative, but your title is Install Armbian on an SBC and this was too short for my taste.

I could indeed have put a lot more info into it. Someone asked me about my dektop setup. So I quickly made this video.

Sorry you don't like it. Cheers.

It says everywhere "Install on Armbian" if a 12min Video needs 2:22 minutes for the installation... answer it yourself.

A title can only be that long. How should I have called it otherwise? This is the title : Install Armbian on an SBC - Desktop Set up - Install to NVMe ( RockPi4B )
It is just my standard install that I've done so many times that I show. I advertise Armbian with it, and nobody pays me to do it.
I can't change the video once it's made.
If you want it done better. I'm going to make a video about building armbian.
You could write something that you want in it, or give suggestions.
Cheers

i already did that in my post above ?

Edit:

I love titles on YouTube that promise but don't hold.

 

If I read how to install, I, I mean I personally would expect a video that leads me step by step through that process – imagine it is my first time with Linux und SBC. And then ich klick on your install video.

why the title is deceptive

I try not to aim at the total noobs with my videos. I expect people who watch my videos to know what an SBC is, and how to write an image to an SD-card.
I think ETA-Prime is better for you. He's a noob explaining to other noobs Try to learn from him Then later on maybe again watch one of my videos again

No hard feelings, just messing a bit.
