  • Beelink Mini PC (J4125)

    From aLPHA@21:4/158 to All on Fri Nov 12 15:02:20 2021
    Finally got around to booting up my brithday present, a Beelink mini
    computer.

    (8GB DDR4 RAM 256GB SSD GKmini Desktop Computer, Support 4K@30Hz Dual HDMI Display, Gigabit Ethernet, 4xUSB3.0, Dual WiFi, BT4.0)

    Replaced Windows with Ubuntu and this little sucker FLIES! Running my
    BBS, browsing, music, VS Code, Discord/Element, etc.

    Really impresed what a $210 mini PC can do.

    Def. more expensive than a Pi, but doesn't chug like my Pi 4 does. Still
    love my pi tho :)

    Appears to be a nice alternative to an Intel NUC -- nice specs and good price!

    Best regards

    I can never tell from the advertising if it is possible to replace Windows
    with linux on these, so good to hear that it is not a big deal. ;) Glad
    you are enjoying it.

    ? I was wondering, what is Linux Windows? Or did you leave out a period after Linux?

    It was somewhat of a learning curve when I did it back about 20 years ago.
    It may not be as big of one now that more things are available for linux.
