TOUCHSCREEN LINK
Don't get ripped off buying Waveshare products. They sell directly to the public on FleaBay:

There are clones/fakes out there selling for more than the real thing, go figure. My 10.1" IPS touchscreen currently goes for U.S. $111 with free shipping from China.

SECURITY NOTES
NetworkManager is a pain but Wicd stores passwords in plain text. You need root but anyone with physical access to your Pi's SD card can get every password to every WiFi hotspot you've ever connected to. Affects original 9-11 (aka R1) version and Murdock Edition (which I'm still running on my 32-bit Pi2, by the way.) R2, R3 and 64-bit versions don't use Wicd.
All versions before R3 have an Apache server which is best run without a GUI using Alpha2. Unless you're doing web development with Bluefish you probably don't need it.
I mentioned purging tiger in an old blog post but forgot about fcheck which also needs to go. Those were really for my own attack vector research... Don't surf on your server. ;)
Lastly, Raspbian's default user "pi" has been exploited by script kiddies which is why I'm using Raz Berry as my new admin account. After creating a new account add it to the adm and sudo groups, you can then safely delete user pi. You'll lose my super slick default desktop settings but oh well... sigh.

ALPHA3 17.10
I guess I'll need a 17.10 base/console image sometime in October. I might try Budgie again then. Like Linux Mint it uses the Gnome Bluetooth stack but it can switch audio input and output devices without PulseAudio Volume Control. Unfortunately the desktop environment itself kinda sux but Bluetooth works so I dunno... still don't think it'll be worth the time or effort until 18.04 (April 2018). But kernel 4.12 fixes so many Raspberry Pi bugs I probably won't be able to resist the temptation. Maybe Cinnamon Desktop on ARM64 will even work! I get excited just thinking about it! :blush:
50th ANNIVERSARY
Will fake American news even mention it? Will the fake news cover it up like Hillary's illegal email server? Maybe a partisan ex-FBI director can provide the distraction they need.

EXPERIMENTAL VERSION
Ubuntu 17.04 64-bit
Kernel 4.9.21-v8+ ARM64
Xfce 4.12.3
X.Org 1.19.3
Gallium 0.4 on LLVM 4.0, 128 bits
Mesa 17.0.3
Preconfigured for Waveshare 10.1 inch IPS touchscreen
LINK REMOVED USE BETA5
Administrator (sudo) raz has a password of ubuntu2017. Non-admin (no sudo) user surfer has a password of silver. Root is disabled.
WORKS
3D video acceleration, desktop effects, built-in WiFi, Bluetooth audio (Pulseaudio 10)
NO WORKIE
Built-in Bluetooth adapter, analog audio, IPv6 disabled in /boot/cmdline.txt (IPv4 only)
DONE
I'm gonna do this all over again for 18.04 LTS but should be MUCH MUCH easier chrooting into an Ubuntu ARM64 system from an Ubuntu ARM64 system. All the commands will work without qemu and I've preloaded the system with build essentials. I really don't plan on investing much more time and effort in it but nothing is held back so it should upgrade to 17.10 without problem.
Cya next year, probably on a new website for Islamic State Linux, the #1 choice for jihadists around the globe. LOL... Some people believe anything they see on TV "news" (propaganda)

OOPS
The default HDMI config is for my Waveshare 10.1 inch IPS touchscreen. I meant to delete those four lines before making the image, oops. Not worth making a new one so edit config.txt on the FAT (Windows) partition with notepad or whatever. Might as well do some configuring of your own while there... if you intend to run a server app like Apache without a GUI, my default max video memory allocation is probably not what you want, see Pi Foundation documentation for more info. Just make sure you don't delete the last line that forces 64-bit mode. The kernel8.img file is full 64-bit the whole way. It won't boot in 32-bit mode.

This never would have happened without Gentoo. It's entirely their fault.
