The lack of availability and the associated price hikes have been a big problem. We also now have plenty of devices with RK3588 CPUs which are quite a bit more powerful than the Raspberry Pi 4, its been "obsolete" for a good year at this point and while they have focussed on solving availability issues other SBC makers have moved on with lots of varied devices.

- argulane 3y agoIf the SBC is supported by Armbian then the software support is usually pretty good. https://www.armbian.com/ https://www.armbian.com/
- magicalhippo 3y agoYeah I've been running several "Pi-clones" with Armbian for years now, mostly Allwinner H3 based, and only issue I had was due to a faulty USB power cable[1]. [1]: "fast charge" cable with 1 Ohm resistance...
