Zimaboard posted to discord today advising of upcoming price rises on May 25th. If you were on the fence now would be the time to buy! Personal note: I think it's absolutely amazing they've given advance warning of this instead of just striking while the iron was hot. Definitely won brownie points here!

I'm ashamed to say I bought one of these back on Kickstarter and never actually ended up finding a use for it.
I have started streaming games for my PC to my TV over Steam link but the Android version has some issues.
I thought I would give the Linux version a try went to go set this up and found out CasaOS is in maintenance mode and hasn't been updated since 2024.
Zima OS is completely unsuited for my use case.
Are there any major security concerns from using Casa OS or is there another distribution that would be more suited?
Also the BIOS is rather old but I couldn't find an official page with a list of updates.
Recently acquired a Used Zimiboard for free. It seems to power on but nothing outputs to the Mini DisplayPort, I tried plugging in a keyboard and pressed the usual keyboard buttons (f2, f11, f12, Del) to see if I could get it to boot into the Bios. I wanted to reinstall a fresh OS on it.
Still nothing outputs to the display. No Bios, nothing from what was previously installed. (they said it had a version of Debian on it)
I do know it has a PCI gen 2 x4 on it. Could I possibly use a graphic's card there (EVGA 1060, powered by an external 6pin.) to get it to post the bios on the display?
Thoughts? any advice? (currently only have the one desktop with a Power supply capable of powering that old card, and I don't want to take apart my PC tonight)
Is there any way to "factory restore/reset" one of these?
Hi,
Is anyone here using any PCIe combo card like this from Sabrent ? Would like to hear your experiences or issues.
Seems like a great way to expand my Zimaboard2 with more storage and still keep my 10gbe connection
