Are there though? I’d call those other boards a pi-like but their software stacks are often abandoned shortly after they ship. Unlike the offline by default of the 8-bit era these are going to need updates and support in an ever hostile world - just my thoughts on the subject.

Random : anyone else posting from mobile get their posts duplicated ?

there are some shoddy clones out there that are abandoned a few months after launch and never get the patches they need. but there are respectable alternatives too. https://www.zdnet.com/article/best-raspberry-pi-alternative/

  Fair enough. Lot of quality SBC boards in that lot. I bought a lot of junk during the dark times when Pi 4 was scarce. Now that Pi4 and Pi5 are ramping up production and available again its hard to choose a less mainstream board. My uncle sent me an N100 board to play with. FAST AF, but man howdy do I feel like it has a shelf life in years at best.
