I'll always choose Intel architecture if I can because the software just works.

  Same goes for Intel's Clear Linux [1] (review [2]), which runs 24/7 on my ASRock J4105-ITX since late 2018. Still looking into upgrading to an N100 ASRock N100DC-ITX [3] or Asus Prime N100I-D D4 [4].

    Is clear linux an alright distro to tool around on? The last I looked it up it was supposed to cater to dev ops needs

      Possibly, at least with containers (mine is using containers almost entirely). Cannot say much for other use cases but the package manager in CL always seemed a little scarcer.

    I have the Asus Prime N100I-D4 and picked it over the Asrock as I didnt want to deal with a powerbrick. I've stuffed the mobo in a 1u case with a modular 300w flexatx psu Otherwise they are very similar boards. Also thank you for reminding me of clear linux.

      It may already be too late, but the ASRock N100M doesn't require a power brick. As opposed to the N100DC-ITX which does.

        You are right, but that also means a bigger Micro ATX form factor too.
