I’ve had this Pine A64 board sitting around forever and, despite meaning to, I’ve never done anything with it. It’s an activation potential problem. I always assumed it would take a lot of dedicated time to get it working. I stopped procrastinating today and… it took me longer to find an HDMI adapter than to boot the installer:
1. Copy Tow-Boot to an SD card.
2. Copy the #NixOS installer to a USB drive.
3. There is no step 3, it just works.
I’m trying to install #NixOS on this old Pine A64 and it keeps overheating. Time to improvise a heatsink!
