Comment by general1726 3 days ago It is exactly same problem like Raspberry Pi vs all other (cheaper, better) single board computers. 6 comments general1726 Reply blacksmith_tb 3 days ago Except the RPi competition isn't better, only cheaper, because it has terrible software; and without a big community, no support? general1726 2 days ago Having a SATA or M2 is something what I would consider definitely better, however software is usually garbage stuck on one specific Linux Kernel and that's the reason why better hardware will never catch on. opan 2 days ago If you stick to RockChip stuff, it's not bad. buzzerbetrayed 3 days ago Totally depends on what “better” means to you and your use case. mrheosuper 2 days ago what do you mean "terrible software", as long as they have linux kernel for it, i don't see how it's more terrible than raspberry dietr1ch 2 days ago Terrible as in you will be stuck in the pretty much only kernel image that runs on it without being able to update things beyond the kernel

what do you mean "terrible software", as long as they have linux kernel for it, i don't see how it's more terrible than raspberry
Terrible as in you will be stuck in the pretty much only kernel image that runs on it without being able to update things beyond the kernel
