VisionFive 2 isn’t going to blow the doors off anything but it is very stable with Fedora 40. Also, I can’t speak for the Mars, but the VisionFive 2 has NVME and it works fine booting from it with the patches that were accepted for 6.11.

Hopefully it does well and we see some newer versions of the board.

I had a fire alarm go off in the middle of the night. They were all hard wired so blaring in the whole house, woken up from a dead sleep. I was running around the entire house looking for the fire. Having that happen and not having a fire extinguisher was the worst most sinking feeling in my life. There was no fire, one of the alarms just went bad. Next day I ordered a fire extinguisher for each bedroom, kitchen, both cars, etc.

I had that exact thing happen again recently and I learned alarms are only good for about 10 years. The one that failed was just over 10 years old, so I replaced them all and put a reminder in my calendar to replace them all in 10 years again. I have had all the extinguishers for several years. I look once in awhile to make sure they’re still in the green, but I should probably have them inspected or replace them. I’m not perfect by a stretch either.

One of those places I’m so much more than happy to pay the money and never have to use it though.
