Hey all, I’m looking to build a couple dashboards out around my house. I’ve done this before with rokchip boards and they are… fine, but not great. Is rpi the best option right now? Are there alternatives you really like? I’d like to keep it a single board to easily mount behind things where it doesn’t take up a lot of space, and I won’t lie I like the DIY feeling of it over something like a thin client.

    I’ve never even heard of Orange Pi, thanks for the heads up to them!

      If you’re looking for a quick way to see its potential try using one of these images.

      I use this to run 4k video, you would be surprised with how many things just work on here.

      Also I slapped a 1tb M.2 SSD on there and flashed the OS there so it is very fast and has the potential to be used as a full desktop
