Hi Andy, On my workbench for playing around I'm running 2.8.4 on a Pi4 with an LCD touch screen and the MESA 7i92H. How easy to update that? I'd like to try QtDragon on it.
My actual mill is running 2.8.1 on an older Lenovo. Would it just be easier to upgrade to new hardware for 2.9.3? As I recall this system is old enough that trying an apt upgrade results in incorrect web addresses and generally appeared to be really difficult. I'd need to update the monitor to 108oP if I want to run QtDragon. Thanks John Here's the processor info.
