I started with Raspberry Pi years ago but now prefer FriendlyELEC NanoPi and OrangePi, both running Armbian. Armbian has some performance tweaks that RPi doesn't have, especially the use of zram to minimize system writes to SD cards, which extends their life.
- eternityforest 3y agoThings like that are easy enough to set up on Raspbian with a script. You also need a bunch of tmpfs mounts, including some in crazy places(Regular Pi has a log file under ~/.cache that can fill disks and crash servers, and if you don't fix it Chromium writes seemingly useless crap constantly. There's auto updates on some systems, which is terrible if you're on a private WiFi, not doing internet stuff. I'm not using zram at the moment, just getting rid of swap, but my current script to get a Pi ready for embedded projects is here: https://github.com/EternityForest/KaithemAutomation/blob/master/kaithem-kioskify.sh https://github.com/EternityForest/KaithemAutomation/blob/mas...
