The Raspberry Pi is about as minimalist as a computer gets, but it
has the power to run a full Linux operating system and many great
desktop and command line tools as well. Can you push it to operate
at the level of a $2,000 computer? This book is here to help you
find out. The primary focus of this book is getting as much as
possible done with a simple Pi through non-graphic, non-mouse
means. This means the keyboard and the text-mode screen. On the
desktop side, you'll look at many of the most powerful GUI apps
available, as these offer an easy entry to get started as you learn
the command line. You'll begin by setting up and configuring a
Raspberry Pi with the option to run it as a graphical desktop
environment or even more economically boot straight to the command
line. If you want more performance, more efficiency, and (arguably)
less complexity from your Pi that can only be found through the
keyboard and command line. You'll also set up and configure a
Raspberry Pi to use command line tools from within either the
Raspberry Pi terminal, or by logging in remotely through some other
computer. Once in, you'll look at Package Managers, Tmux, Ranger,
and Midnight Commander as general-purpose power tools. The book
then gets into specific task-oriented tools for reading email,
spreadsheet work, notes, security, web browsing and design, social
media, task and video password management, coding, and much more.
There are conceptual overviews of Markdown, LaTeX, and Vim for
work. What You'll Learn Set up a Raspberry Pi system to get real
work done using only the command line Login to a Pi remotely to use
it as a remote server Integrate desktop Linux with command line
mastery to optimize a Pi Work with tools for audio, writing news
and weather, books, and graphics. Who This Book Is For Those with
minimal technical skills or hobbyists who are interested in "retro
computing" or "minimalist" approaches.
