Can anyone recommend an SBC with >=16 GB of RAM that has been confirmed to run stably with the mainline kernel?
Edit: to be clear, I specifically need ARM CPUs. Headless is OK (although a basic console over HDMI would be nice). To answer myself, an Orange Pi 5 might fit the bill but I'm not sure how stable it runs at 100% continuous load (on a mainline kernel).

- bloggie 3y agoMost of these SBCs top out at 8 GB (if you're lucky). you might be better off looking at a NUC-style tiny computer with x86 processor. There are some available on Amazon. https://www.bee-link.com/computer-73493777 https://www.bee-link.com/computer-73493777
- dmm 3y agoIf you need that much ram, maybe consider n100 machines. For ~$180 you can a complete system with case, power supply, 16GB ram, 500GB ssd. The m.2 storage and amd64 distro compatibility makes it worthwhile to me. Here's one example but many more are available on amazon and aliexpress: https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-Desktop-Computer-Support-Ethernet/dp/B0BVLS7ZHP https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-Desktop-Computer-Support-Ethe...
- layer8 3y agoYep, the N100 is now the go-to in that performance range. Though personally I’d spend a bit more and get a fanless version, like e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Mini-PC-Firewall-Appliance-Lake-N100/dp/B0C9WLD9JG https://www.amazon.com/Mini-PC-Firewall-Appliance-Lake-N100/....
