16.10 is an LTS version. Unless there is functionality needed with a new version there's no real need to update.Why not use 18.04 or 18.10 then?

Oh that's right. Thought it was the other way around.April even ones are LTS, not October or odd ones.
16.04 was the LTS before 18.04. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
In fact, 16.10 is EoL now.
Might be a good idea to update to the latest LTS version.Yep this. Plus it's the one I had on a USB drive.

Blobs are precompiled privative drivers, like the Nvidia one, I think they are called like that because they are a "blob" of unknown nature compared to the modules in the kernel. They force you to keep a fixed kernel version on those development boards, because most likely they wont work if you change anything surrounding them.OK, stupid question: What are blobs?
On a sidenote, I'm not sure what's so educational about any of these. I have a Pi and like it.. but snapping together a few parts doesn't teach kids anything. They'd learn more by putting together a PC.

I have one and like it a lot. Runs Android very well and is a great little SBC. It's compatible with everything that can be used with an Raspberry Pi 2/3/3b+(cases, accessories). TinkerOS is a solid Linux distro, but I bought it specifically to run Android.In another weird bit of corporate news:
ASUS Tinker Board (ARM/Pi based)..
Didn't anyone know about this? It ships with ASUS' own distro ("TinkerOS"), which is basically just Debian.
WinME was actually very solid once the "experimental" features were disabled, such as the first version of system restore, automatic updates and a few other things. I liked it a lot and used it exclusively until XP SP2 came out.Me like, in Windows Millennium?

One of my favorite OS's right now is ReactOS... Yes, it's not usable on real hardware (well, it is, but it's got a ways to go) but I'm so impressed with how far it's gotten over the last 2-3 years.

Yep, basically Ubuntu with even less things to worry about.I think if your really after easy to setup and use out of the box then I'd suggest you use Linux Mint

Any of the Debian based distro's are going to be very easy to setup and have great hardware support. Ubuntu and Mint are at the top if easy to setup and use. I personally swing toward Mint(XFCE) as well, but Ubuntu is good.Yep, basically Ubuntu with even less things to worry about.
