Manjaro (based on Arch Linux) has by far the ‘smoothest’ look for an OS on an RPi4. I think i’ll use this on the 24” Dell Touch screen.#manjaro #archlinux #linux #dell #touchscreen #homeassistant #ha #dirtyoptics

Oh so close! Did another cut today and was only out by a couple mm on 2-3 holes. I’m starting to think that if I want better measurements than I need better gear. Also probably best to use a metal plate with scribe instead of wood!#diyev #adapterplate #ev #gemini #notanengineer #dirtyoptics #hurryup #finishedyet #maker #diy #tesla #netgain #hyper9

Not really sure where I’m going wrong but some of the holes are out by upto 5mm. Im pretty sure its Fusion360 hosing me over...#evadapter #electricvehicle #diyev #ev #dirtyoptics #v5 #adapter #notanengineer #diy #lasercutter
