> it has an outdated SoC with no RVA23 support

There are zero SoCs currently available to buy with RVA23 support, so that's not a mark against the RV2 if you want to buy a machine today.

Initial RVA23 machines available later this year are also likely to cost at least 5x to 10x more.

> meaning some Linux distros won't even run on it

There is currently no other hardware you could buy instead that will run that distro.

Check back in April or so, when Ubuntu 26.04 is actually officially released.

NB I'm currently using Ubuntu 26.04 on RVA23 hardware, but it is remote ssh access to a test board at the manufacturer.
