Raspbian on de10-nano

[numbski]

I am very new to mister. I am aware the mister is less powerful when it comes to the arm cpu than a raspberry pi, and that we are building on top of the Linux provided by Terrasic.

The worm in my brain though is loading raspbian onto an sd card, then trying to build the fpga stuff on top of that, leaving one with all of the benefits of raspbian (primarily package manager) while still being able to use Mister. I did a fair amount of searching and didn’t find any references to it, so I don’t know if it has already been attempted or not.

If not, and there’s no obvious reason it wouldn’t work, I am thinking of taking a stab at it.

Because MiSTer is not about Linux. It doesn't need neither long time to start nor safe shutdown procedure.
Linux lovers are welcome to use Raspberry Pi.

I... feel the urge to respond, but I won't. Have a like Sorg

No point in this. The arm cores on de 10 nano is like pi2 performance this a fpga system for fpga simulation's.

It only came up for me wanting to load some packages. If there’s no benefit I won’t bother. Things like aria2 might be nice to have on board though.

I lied a bit. It was mDNS that I was thinking of that had me looking for a package manager. For grins I did take raspbian on an sdcard and attempt booting it. Looks like it either doesn't fully boot, or if it does it isn't driving the hdmi output, and the UART port doesn't show up on my laptop - so that idea may be DOA anyway.

Apparently you can run desktop linux with a GUI, it's in the wiki under "extra features".

Raspbian kernel is build for specific CPU used in Raspberry. It won't start on de10-nano. As already mentioned, there is LXDE Linux for MiSTer which is basically Ubuntu 16.04 with package manager. Mostly useless.
