Not really, you can run unmodified Debian on either of those boards, same for Arch & most other distros. The chip in the Zero will never be able to do that since its ARMv6, plus your paying a premium for it.
My last experience with a Raspi 3 and all the broken packages in Raspbian just killed the idea of buying anything requiring I use closed, broken stuff, as its a nightmare to work with.
- PiNonyMouse 10y agoGood point! Are they as fast? And reliable from hardware point of view?
- trome 10y agoMuch faster than a Raspberry Pi 3, I can tell the difference between the two running the same software attached to a large touchscreen. I've got a few dozen OrangePi PC boards going on over a year of being deployed, no issues with any of them yet.
- PiNonyMouse 10y agoCool. Got a link to some good vendors?
- trome 10y agoYeah, I'd just buy it from Xunlong off Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1553371 https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1553371 The OrangePi PC Plus is pretty good with the onboard eMMC and Wifi, its worth the extra $7.
