:Currently working on reformatting the Raspberry Pi 5 page, as I'm struggling with my own Pi build :) [[User:DoggoBit|DoggoBit]] ([[User talk:DoggoBit|talk]]) 21:58, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

=== Standardised Board Page ===

We should come up with a "standardised" page outline similar to the wiki's [[Manual of Style]].

Here's my proposed outline:

* [no heading] introduction

** start with whether there's official support, if there's community support or no support at all

** general info about the board, when it was produced, how popular is it with the nix community

** notable nix-specific info/projects that people should be aware of at a glimpse

* Suggested Installation Process (or just Installation Process if there's official support)

** step-by-step guide on how to install NixOS on the board. each step is a separate subsection

** single one, the most widely used by the community, the most user friendly, and the least prone to error

* Alternative Installation Processes

** list other community efforts, formatted like the previous section

* Known Limitations

** do some packages not work? errors? devices faulty? etc.

* Board-specific Projects

** are there community initiatives building cool stuff on this board?

* Related Projects

** Simply list other board versions, etc.

* References

Feel free to add/remove to this structure, or talk about this outline in the cafe
