Hi,

I'm currently running the moonlander 2 usb devices connected to PC (Windows 10 OS). I'm planning to switch to raspberry pi 3 to cut down the power consumption, & need few suggestions,

1) What is the best/suggested OS for raspberry pi 3 to better run moonlander 2 devices or to be stable.
2) I'm panning to connect a USB2.0 hub(external powered with each usb port delivering consistent 2A current output) with 20 usb ports (probably connected with 10 moonlander 2 usb devices)
3) Do any of the Operating Systems of raspberry pi 3 has limitations on USB hubs connected to them?

Do anyone of you tried this and anyone of you think switching from PC to raspberry pi 3 is a bad idea?

Thanks

I switched to Pi recently. Running 3 sticks on NOOBS without issues (at the moment 6 days without interruption) ... but i'm real NOOB when it comes to rasp and linux so can't answer you more questions. Very happy I did that. Now entire setup is behind window (I have double windows in my house) so heat nor noise is issue anymore (original fans were really loud sometimes).

I say go for it.

thank you Bitfort for sharing your experience

I'm planning to go with Radpbian or UbuntuMate as operating system on pi3. Any suggested/recommended OS that can better run moonlander 2 with USB hub attached?

thanks
