Hm, interesting. It might be worth considering an issue that usually only pops up once the machine is finished which is: How are you going to create gcode for this?

Hello everyone, I'm very new to everything Linux related but frustrations with my current machinery has led me down a rabbit hole. Here we are.

I saw people asking for feedback on running the 2.9.2 package on a raspberry pi. I have a Raspberry Pi 4B 8G model that I have attempted to boot the 2.9.2 image to with very little success. I used the XZ file on the downloads page and put it into the Raspberry Pi imager, the board was booted with a small touchscreen plugged into it's display port via ribbon cable. ACT/power lights appeared promising until I got a peculiar message showing up on screen with some skulls. I have attached it here.  

After the skull message, power light turns off and the ACT light switches to a faint, consistent flicker while the display continues rotating through solid colors. 

It's entirely possible that since this is the second time ever using one of these that I have royally screwed up somewhere. I have also read some negative reviews as far as the compatibility of the 8G model goes so it could have something to do with that. Any and all info you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[Edit], the XZ file taken off the homepage for version 2.9.2 failed to flash using BalenaEtcher
