For the likes of us there isn’t really much of a moat but RPi puts a lot of effort into accessibility for beginners. Look at orangepi.org:
“We offer one-stop customized service based on open source products to shorten the path from technology to application”
vs raspberrypi.org:
“Empowering young people to use computing technologies to shape the world”
The underlying tech is very similar but the marketing and community aims are very different. If RPi can capture a solid chunk of the education market they’ll be able to dine out on that, and it doesn’t seem like OPi is equipped to do the same.
