Thanks, i did have a wander thru the Birdslikewires site, but couldnt locate any of the BTRFS / EXT4 images. running Ub14 is ok, but sucks with the Wifi issue im stumbling on resolving hence the lookout for any newer versions. running 22.04 on my laptop which i do like.

Here mostly running Windows embedded and Squeezeplayer on my Openpeak devices.

I am using Windows based touchscreen software which works well called Homeseer Touch. I am also using OmniTouch Pro which works well. Very simple software originally written for Windows XP. I am also using Home Assistant which works very slow on the Jogglers.

Very modded hardware here.

1 - original Openpeak device came with a metal heat sink that covered the entire motherboard
2 - updated bios in the Realtek NIC card so that it is recognized
3 - updated WiFi USB stick
4 - For windows went to Seabios and for Linux using current release posted by Andy.
5 - these came with ZIF connectors for old IDE drives which I am using to boot from.

The above devices (~ 15) are on 24 / 7 for the last few years.
