My experience with the OrangePi 4 LTS has been poor, and I'm unwilling to purchase more of their hardware. Mine is now running Armbian because I didn't care for the instability, or for the Chinese repos.

They seem uninterested in trying to get their hardware supported by submitting their patches for inclusion in the Linux kernel, and popular distros. Instead, you have to trust their repos (based in PRC).

>>anonym+qH
you keep insinuating PRC yet you don't realize you're already pwned just running their hardware no matter the OS.

Point to the spot on the board where China hurt you.

...and you would point at a backdoor. (If it is there.)

I'd namedrop Salt Typhoon, but it feels a bit unfair to rely on American SigInt.
