Can Ed Humble “The ultimate recycler” save the 6 year old LattePanda V1 and make out of it a new and fresh device again – or do we better buy an Orange Pi 5?

  • Ed Humble or someone else.
  • Ed Humble installed in the video an old Ubuntu version with patched kernel 5 years ago.
  • An updated version with a newer Ubuntu version and touch control would be highly desirable.

“I love to tinker around with new ideas. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction that giving something old or discarded a newly found useful purpose. Think of me as the ultimate recycler. I save the planet one repair at a time.”


The video Ed Humble he published 5 years ago is called:

Ed Humble: Having it all with Linux in the LattePanda”

  • The video goes through a step by step install of Linux Ubuntu Unity with a 4.12 Patched Kernel on the LattePanda V1:

But even better would be if Ed Humble supports the Orange Pi 5, which does not caused so much negative experiences to this date:

  • Will not shops sell the Orange Pi 5 in Switzerland soon?
  • Is it not better to buy a new device than repairing a 6 years old device from a company with which we made a lot of negative experiences?
  • But if manufacturers do stock market speculations with costumers, we can also bid on Ricardo Switzerland until we find a device which fits for our needs.
