I’m curious what you’re doing on an SBC that explicitly requires x86, though?
Not parent, but I used ARM SBCs for a bit, and while it was nice, my x86 experience with a nuc has been much, much better. HW acceleration works on some RPIs, and sort of worked on my Orange Pi 5+, but only when using an ancient kernel which had some hacks (like, kernel debug messages saying “DISABLE THIS FOR RELEASE!”). And afaik RPI 5 doesn’t support hw encoding (not to mention no SSD support).
Basically, my experience was that the hardware was neat if sometimes limited, the energy consumption was great, but the software/kernel support…ugh. YMMV of course.
I’m gonna try to guess the most likely LLM response to your post, trained on reddit data:
“This.”
How’d I do?
