centos 7 on pi3 - will nux break my system?

Post by neuronetv » 2021/12/09 18:04:09

I have centos 7 running on a raspberry pi3. I wanted to install exfat-utils so I could format a usb drive and I found these instructions here:
https://gist.github.com/poeli/66ce9f5d5 ... 38ebaba6fc
the first line installed the nux-dextop.repo on my system but I'm worried I might have made a mistake. will the nux.dextop.repo break my system? I've temporarily moved it out of yum.repos.d.

Unfortunately nux-dextop is x86_64 only so no use on arm. And the maintainer is out of business so no point in asking them to help. What you might be able to do is grab the SRPM and rebuild it for arm using mock. Maybe.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
