About the blog

Since 2006 I have been trying out what Linux, free software and the right hardware can do – from distribution tests to Raspberry Pi projects. Hands-on rather than a mere news ticker.

Ad blocker? No problem.

I don't lock anyone out. But honestly: the ads you're not seeing right now pay for hosting, the domain and the test devices.

If Linux und Ich is worth something to you, add linuxundich.de to your blocker's allow list. Or buy me a coffee.

Enjoy what you read here? A small donation helps pay for hosting and new test devices – and keeps the coffee coming.
