[nhu-simphongthuyvn]

Bạn sinh năm Quý Dậu và muốn chọn sim phong thủy hợp tuổi mình. Liệu rằng năng lượng trong sim có thực sự mang tới nhiều may mắn cho bạn. Với sự trải nghiệm của bản thân thì câu trả lời là có các bạn nhé. Nhờ vào số điện thoại hợp tuổi 1993 mà tôi như bước sang một trang mới trong cuộc đời của mình.

Câu chuyện cách đây 2 năm khi tôi bắt đầu xin nghỉ làm ở Công ty và tự lập sự nghiệp riêng cho mình. Vẫn biết rằng để gây dựng một sản phẩm lại từ đầu cần rất nhiều thời gian và tiền bạc nhưng khi thực sự bắt tay vào làm thì lại khó khăn hơn nhiều các bạn ạ. Tôi cũng có thuê một văn phòng rồi thuê nhân viên vận hành những vị trí cơ bản của công ty. Tuy nhiên công ty đi vào hoạt động được gần một năm mà không hề có sự tiến triển nào cả. Thậm chí, chi phí hàng tháng khiến tôi có thêm những khoản nợ bên ngoài. Khó khăn chồng chất khó khăn mà tôi không biết làm cách nào để hóa giải.

Một lần tâm sự cùng ông anh về tình hình hiện tại rằng có lẽ tôi phải cho công ty ngừng hoạt động thôi vì cứ như thế này tôi cũng vỡ nợ mất. Nghe qua tình hình thì anh tôi khuyên cứ bình tĩnh vì sản phẩm của tôi thực tế khá khả thi khi tung ra trên thị trường chắc có lẽ tôi thiếu đi một chút may mắn. Anh tôi nói làm kinh doanh thì “có thờ có thiêng” vì vậy khuyên tôi thử đổi sim sang sim phong thủy hợp tuổi xem sao. Nghe lời giới thiệu từ anh tôi đã truy cập simphongthuy.vn để lựa chọn cho mình số điện thoại hợp tuổi 1993 tại url: https://simphongthuy.vn/Chon-mua-sim-ho ... .phongthuy.

Các bạn biết không ban đầu tôi khá lo lắng vì trước giờ tôi đâu có kiến thức phong thủy đâu mà giờ lại bảo tìm sim phong thủy. Thế nhưng công cụ xem sim phong thủy tại simphongthuy.vn theo đường dẫn https://simphongthuy.vn/xem-phong-thuy-sim đã giúp tôi tìm chọn số sim phong thủy hợp tuổi một cách đơn giản. Tôi chỉ cần nhập thông tin của mình vào công cụ là có thể khám phá danh sách những số sim hợp tuổi, hợp mệnh từ các nhà mạng khác nhau. Bạn có thể lựa chọn số sim theo khả năng tài chính của mình bởi lẽ giá sim được niêm yết rõ ràng theo đúng điểm phong thủy.

Việc luận điểm phong thủy rõ ràng giúp chúng ta có được sự hiểu biết rõ nét về số điện thoại đó. Tôi đã tìm được số điện thoại may mắn với mình. Từ khi sử dụng sim công việc của tôi thuận lợi hẳn các bạn ạ. Công ty dần đi vào quy mô và phát triển vượt bậc, sản phẩm đưa ra thị trường được nhiều người biết tới. Tôi rất mừng vì tìm được một món đồ phong thủy hộ mệnh với mình.
Hy vọng với những chia sẻ này đã giúp các bạn biết được tìm số điện thoại hợp tuổi 1993 như thế nào. Khám phá ngay simphongthuy.vn để tìm được số sim may mắn cho riêng mình nhé!

I'm sure one can use the Pi GPIO from any 64 bit Linux based operating system very easily. I have done it in C and Rust on Pi64 for over a year now. If you search recent forum activity you will find 64 bit OS for the Pi 4.

[Gavinmc42]

If you only want 64 then Gentoo64 works.
There is also a 64bit kernel for Raspbian that you can try Buster with now.

Both work well but I have not really used them got GPIO stuff yet.
Other are in the works, Arch, Alpine, Ubuntu 19 etc but I have trouble getting them to work.

Just wait a few months more?
Mate will probably show up sooner or later.
Has been less than 3 months since the Pi4 was released?

The maintainer of Ubuntu Mate (who is a Canonical employee) has stated he is working on releasing the latest Ubuntu Mate on the 4B. People have got 18.04 with Mate up and running on the 4, but it is not officially supported yet. One thing to be aware of is that they are likely piggybacking on work that RPT is doing, and only have hardware acceleration working on the 32bit version for the 2,3, 3+. This may continue to be true for the 4, since so far RPT has only released hardware acceleration for 32 bit.

I was wondering when using a supported 64 bit os would the GPIO work,

If every related software packages are built and installed properly - everything will work like a charm.
I have my own GNU/Linux based OS (pet project, not published) which surprisingly works very nicely on pi4, it's a full aarch64 build using 4.19.x kernel from raspberrypi github, no arm32 support in userspace at all. Everything gpio/spi/i2c just works, that includes rpi.gpio, gpiozero, luma.oled + tiny spi oled display, rtc with battery and etc.

[rjbook51]

I believe Majaro has a 64 bit Pi4 version available, though I don't know how well it works.

[pi-tastic]

however would be be safe to say that Raspiban would be the best option almost always as its the best supported?

That's still a big step up, even with 32-bit hardware. Raspbian is great for it's purpose, but having Mate running near native and official would transform the Pi4 into an excellent eco-friendly desktop replacement - cheap, small, low-power, near state-art-of GUI, apps, etc. Just perfect. But, hang on! Where is the 4 distro? Umm. Nuts.

OK. I would like some shares for this, but anyways: Pi people, if you froze Raspbian for a month and put all your efforts and the community into getting Mate to work, don't you think you would sell 10 x times what you are now do? Nothing would match the growth.

i like ubuntu mate alot!

Raspbian is the official Raspberry Pi OS. All the official development effort goes into it. Anything else is done by third parties. So it's up to the MATE developers.

I agree, MATE is nice on the Pi (runs well on my 3B+), but the Raspbian developers have put a lot of work into making LXDE on Raspbian nice and functional. Lots of customizations, lots of development. If you were to ask them, they're already doing what they can to increase sales by putting all this work into Raspbian.

Actually the problem isn't lack of sales of the Pi4 right now, it's too many sales - too much demand and not enough supply at the moment. The Pi4 has been a huge hit and they've already sold 1 million in a little over 2 months. That's record sales, the fastest selling Pi ever.

Mint is also good, but I'm not sure mint goes well in raspberry pie.

Although the idea of a light-weight desktop based on Openbox was very good in the beginning, it lost its best feature, in my opinion, when the distinctive Pi logo used for the default background was replaced by some generic-looking photograph.

The original background made the brand much more visible. That helped to promote how distinctive the educational mission of the Pi was compared to other SBCs, as well as how much greater the market share. Without this advantage, I don't see much point in maintaining a separate in-house distribution. While the inclusion of Mathematica and other proprietary software is important, presently the Pi is mainstream and popular enough that just a little outreach would result in many Linux distribution projects releasing Pi-specific install images that worked well.

Oh, never mind; keep up the good work with Raspbian. I like it well as obviously do many other people.

No, where are you getting these numbers from and why do you think it would affect sales in any way?

[pica200]

It does work very well. GPU is not officially enabled yet but you can fix that by renaming 99-fbturbo.conf and disabling compositing in the window tweaks settings (needed because of a GPU driver bottleneck/bug).

Don't think it would make much of a difference. I suspect the majority of the people that already have Pis run Raspbian (and hence LXDE). It works well. I like Mate better since I have way more seat time on it and am more comfortable tweaking it, plus I use it on a bunch of other computers and have them all setup basically the same.

Switching desktops would be a lot of work for RPT, result in a desktop that offers basically the same functionality, with a slightly larger memory footprint. I don't see the win for current Pi people or RPT. I think the intersection of folks that are interested in Pis and folks that want to run Mate is fairly small. Officially supporting two desktop configs would pretty much double the support workload and is likely never going to happen.

For the niche users who really want Mate, it is available already on the Pi, just install it on top of Raspbian Lite. If you want the latest Mate, there are ways to get it running. Ubuntu has said they will be releasing an official package for Ubuntu Mate if you want the full and complete package. You just will have to wait for it.

It will be interesting once they release it to see if the RPT tweaks of Debian, that make Raspbian + Mate or Canonical tweaks of Debian that make Ubuntu plus a slightly newer Mate results in a cleaner, better performing system.

There are many open-source developers working on Mate, whereas the Raspberry Pi desktop was developed in house. Given the fact that Mate appears more polished, works closer to how people expect and doesn't require a separate development effort, setting it as the default desktop may make sense for the move to 64-bit. Until then, keeping the familiar 32-bit Raspbian as reverse compatible as possible could be a better idea.

Even though everyone is entitled to an opinion, that doesn't mean every opinion falls within the guidelines necessary for posting on this forum. I hope I haven't crossed the boundary with what I just wrote above.

Back on topic, less effort spent on the development of the Raspbian Desktop would free up additional resources that could be devoted to ensuring third-party distributions run well on the Pi 4B. There is a reason so many Debian maintainers are on the payroll of companies such as Intel and why IBM bought Red Hat.

It was long ago when i tried mate. I was testing several de's and ultimately xfce was the one i found worked the best and had very low resource usage which only lxde can beat. If i would be in a position to choose i would choose xfce instead of mate. It's also developed by the community and has few bugs as far as i can tell from over a year of usage.

Given that they (RPT) want a desktop that works really well on the Pi they pretty much have to tweak/tune/polish/build one. Because there is no where near the same amount of dev work happening on arm as on intel/amd. Plus they need to tweak/tune to their particular hardware drivers, since they have "non standard" hardware. With the lower resources it made sense to go with the lightest "full" somewhat mainstream desktop, which one could make a fairly good case is LXDE. The 4B is the first Pi that really runs a full blown desktop well. The 3B+ struggles with standard browsers (which have become huge and bloated). It does not make sense to continue to support LXDE for the other Pis and do Mate for the 4.

It makes even less sense to consider supporting another distribution. They already have a tweaked version of Debian which is one of the largest distros out there. What competitive advantage to support more distros is there? Sure it would make some niche group of users happy but it would be a ton of work and would tie them into some other groups release cycles. With Raspbian they have control of the distro, since they are the mainline maintainers. With say Ubuntu they would be at the mercy of Canonical's decisions. I sure there is a reason they picked a fairly slow moving stable distro to base Raspbian on. The beauty of Linux is that it is fairly easy to get another distro up and running if you are Linux savvy and willing to roll up your sleeves and do some work. Ubuntu/Mate is already running, Arch is, Gentoo is, more will come. However, I doubt you will ever see more than Raspbian officially supported by RPT. Likely some will end up with official releases, especially now that the 4 is a credible little desktop, but they will come from the official maintainers not RPT.
