If Open Hardware is something you care about, you can have a look to the different SBCs from Olimex, a Bulgarian company (https://www.olimex.com/ https://www.olimex.com/). They care about having the SoC they use being mainline supported in the Linux kernel. For example here : https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/Home-Server/open-source-hardware https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/Home-Server/open-s... I have been thinking of buying one with their LiPo battery pack to have nice shutdowns in case of power failure.

I recently bought one to experiment with. It was trivial to setup and install. My only surprise was that it didn't have pihole bundled. Here's what I've got: $ cat /etc/debian_version 10.8 $ uname -a Linux freedombox 4.19.0-14-armmp-lpae #1 SMP Debian 4.19.171-2 (2021-01-30) armv7l GNU/Linux $ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT mmcblk0 179:0 0 29.7G 0 disk |-mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 128M 0 part /boot `-mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 29.6G 0 part / $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 480M 0 480M 0% /dev tmpfs 100M 11M 90M 11% /run /dev/mmcblk0p2 30G 3.0G 27G 11% / tmpfs 500M 0 500M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs 500M 0 500M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mmcblk0p2 30G 3.0G 27G 11% /.snapshots /dev/mmcblk0p1 124M 58M 60M 50% /boot tmpfs 100M 0 100M 0% /run/user/10000 Now trying to work out the "right" way to develop for it which is fun since I've never done any development for ARM linux before. I'd rather do the heavy lifting on my macbook so looks like I get to learn all about qemu-debootstrap, ArmHardFloatChroot, etc.
