Nothing about mainline Linux support, or support out of the box from a distro like Alpine, which is where the RPi excels for all its flaws.

- DanTheManPR 4y agoThe huge advantage of the RPi is that I can get it up and running doing things that are useful for me just by following online guides. Whereas I ran into lots of problems when trying to do useful things with other SBCs (I'm not a "computer professional" the way most people on this site are). I don't doubt that others are more capable, but the RPi lets me just get on with my projects with minimal fuss.
- argulane 4y agoIf you are fine with Debian like OS then https://www.armbian.com/ https://www.armbian.com/ works really well out of the box on most SBC-s,
- fmajid 4y agoI prefer Alpine Linux.
- DanTheManPR 4y agoThanks for the recommendation, I'll try that out.
