@tassoman@misskey.social If you are satisfied with the quality of Orange Pi’s software support and the amount of information available, it might be worth considering.
For example, Raspberry Pi OS Trixie updated its kernel version from 6.12.75 to 6.18.29 yesterday. As before, it continues to support all models (for 32-bit) or all models from the 3B onwards (for 64-bit) with a single OS image.
I’m not very familiar with Orange Pi, but it seems that the image files vary depending on the hardware model, and the kernel version appears to be quite old...?
Furthermore, depending on the hardware model, it appears that there may be no OS image available on Google Drive (Google Drive!?
)
