Did you have a bad experience with these? I was thinking of buying either an ODroid or Raspberry Pi 3, now I'm curious to hear what your experiences are.
- geerlingguy 11y agoIt can be a good or bad experience, depending on what exactly you want to do. specs-wise, there are many options that beat the Pi. But getting certain things done will be harder (or impossible) on non-Pis, unless you're an experienced kernel hacker (and even then)... See my review of the ODROID-C2 / compared to Pi 3 for more thoughts[1] [1] http://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2016/review-odroid-c2-compared-raspberry-pi-3-and-orange-pi-plus http://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2016/review-odroid-c2-compa...
- zimpenfish 11y agoI have an ODROID X2 and it was beyond faff - needed its own special PSU (not MicroUSB), wouldn't boot with any USB drives plugged in (power issues), would occasionally just not boot at all, corrupted the SD card a few times, etc. Was a lovely powerful platform -when it worked-. The Pis are woeful when you compare them for raw power but they're orders of magnitude less dicking about and that's important.
