I'm somewhat new to the Linux world, and I absolutely love this build, but I need a faster device than a Pi for the website/video we're running in a loop. Can I somehow run this on a different platform than a Pi, and if not, is there any documentation of how exactly this build was created? I'd like to try to duplicate the majority of it on a fresh build of Ubuntu Server, but if I can avoid all of that redundant work, then even better. Thanks for an awesome project!

Hey, sorry for taking some time to get back to this, I've been away from the keyboard for a while.

You're not the first one to ask for something like this! Though I haven't (yet) heard back from anyone having actually done it.

The preparation of the image is fully automated, and documented as a script here. The setup on top of regular-old Debian would probably be quite similar, with some caveats, such as:

  1. You're not creating a disk image on an SD card
  2. You're (probably) not on an ARM architecture
  3. You won't have the convenience of raspi-config for some system settings

That said, none of those issues are hard to overcome, just take a bit of work.

If you make progress toward such a non-RasPi build, please check back!
