I have a Jetson nano. Really disappointing device.
The cpu is terrible. I bought it to experiment with reinforcement learning, with a model with low, but non trivial, cpu needs. Unfortunately it's so non performant that I never was able to do anything useful with it.
The Ubuntu distribution that works with it is still being updated, but still based on 1804. Decrepit python makes for poor ai ml experience. Poor cpu means fresh install of some basic python packages takes overnight. Need to combine package updates with apt, with python install with pip --user, just to get packages working. Recent openai gym packages won't even install.
The default desktop is Ubuntu's absurd gpu/cpu toasty warmer. Even idle, the heat sink feels like a fire hazard.
Had high hopes, ended up being a poor use of $100
